Name: Lord Marples
Brewery: Thornbridge
ABV: 4%
Style: Bitter
Location: Bakewell, Derbyshire
Aroma: Malty, fruity, hints of grassy hops and a dash of maramalade.
Colour: Deep red with a fluffy one finger off white head.
Taste: Bitter, fruity, malt is clearly apparent in the foreground, giving it fruity and tart elements. The hops give it a bitter undercurrent that helps ground the flavours together. The mouthfeel is dry to cloying, overallit is medium bodied, not too heavy on the carbonation.
Verdict: A decent session bitter with malt forward flavours, with a fruity overtones and a undercurrent of biterness that helps makes this a classic take on the time honoured style. The range of flavours help make up for its lack of strength and make it rather quabable. The use of bottle conditioning adds to the development of the taste profile.
Rating: 8/10
