Cumberland - Jennings No. 1 Golden Beer acknowledges the rich heritage and tradition of the area, but its deep refreshing flavour is still very much in one with contemporary tastes. A supremely refreshing beer using carefully selected English hop varieties that are added at two points in the brewing process to give this beer its unique characteristics.

Once again, a perfect example of ales being better at a bit-less-cool-than-fridge temperature. Smelled nice English that way and although in the end it was still quite bitter, the beer (or ale?) itself was okay I would say. Nothing to write home about, just plain old okay. All English stuff gets a bit watery when below 5% ABV though and this is no exception either. Anyhow I would not diss it because it’s not that bad, once again, it is an okay beer. Can’t really say too much about it either.

500ml bottle. Now 4.0% alcohol and owned by Marstons/Carlsberg.
L: Clear, amber colour with one finger of off-white head and spotty lacing.
S: Nothing.
T: A hint of malt, a hint of sweetness, some stewed tea. Pretty bland overall.
F: Light body with a dry finish.
O: A very ordinary English golden ale. Saved only by its leafy bitterness.

Cask half pint, at The Lamplighter, St. Helier. Copper colour, white head. Moderate aroma. Malty flavour, with sharpish and slightly metallic hops in the finish.

Cerveza de un color dorado tirando a oscuro, con una gran cabeza espumosa burbujeante que desaparece en poco tiempo. De cuerpo medio y carbonatación baja. Aroma frutal y a lúpulo. En boca es afrutada y levemente seca.

From Costco. In Ikea's pint glass. After dinner. Fresh-cut grass notes with some lemony touch in a very watery brew that quickly falls flat and loses all interest. Avg 2.71.
23 Jun 2018. From Lidl. In Ikea's pint. At lunch, with rice soup. After Asun's opo's presentation. Better than remembered, with a smooth and fresh feel, a nice and soft sweetness and an adequate bitterness. Clean, without any odd notes
