Jennings Cumberland Ale
Very suprised to find I hadn't reviewed this beer before, one of my favorite cask ales. This review however is of a green 500ml bottle, well inside its BBD. Poured into pint sleeve glass. Light amber/terracotta in colour with bubbles rising to the large white head, it looks a very good beer. There is very little aroma, some hops and malty tones, but not much for me. Dry and refreshing feel to the taste, hops and yeast obviously in the flavours. Some citrus fruit in there too, but not sour or sharp, more grapefruit than lemon and limes. Well balanced and easy to drink, carbonisation about right with a good firm body for a beer of 4.2%. The brewery is now owned by Banks's or whatever they call themselves now (Marston's?). So far they don't seem to have changed anything up in Cockermouth, only time will tell if that is to continue.
