Sampled at FAB Fest, Miami Beach, last weekend (notes taken).
Pale to mid-brown, with a slight aroma of hops. This standard bitter had moderate hop and malt notes at first; quite average and nothing outstanding there. The aftertaste was more pronounced, there was a sharper bitterness that arrived on the back of the tongue - slightly metallic even.
Not bad but not great. Note this cask had travelled 4000 miles from Devon to Florida, so may have been better before its jaunt.

pours light amber with a slight head and a bit of lacing
smell is just some hints of dry hops and malts - really nothing in there that is very special though.
taste is just quite boring - it just tastes like beer, plain and simple, the hops lack any floral/citrus character, they are just dry and bitter and the malts dont have much soft cocoa, or ripe fruit or nuttiness either - normally this isnt much of an issue, but this doesnt even seem very well balanced - not terrible, but it just doesnt seem like a very well thought out or accomplished brew - not a bad brewery though, marthas mild kicks some major arse.
