I wasn’t expecting it to be great for £1, but thought I’d save it to watch with the cricket as seen as it’s name is cricket related.

The label says it’s an easy drinking pale ale, crafted using the finest English hops.

Ashes Ale

It’s definitely light and drinkable – it smells and looks very light with a hint of hoppy spiciness. It tastes quite crisp, almost lager like buy with a nice hoppy tingle.

At £1 I think it’s a decent beer, not sure I’d pay much more for it though.

Marstons Own Tasting Notes: Marston’s Ashes Ale is back for 2009. This is a very easy drinking light coloured pale ale at 4.1% ABV, is brewedwith passion and desire to beat the Aussies and cheer the England Cricket team to victory. So kick back and enjoy your Ashes Ale with England this summer.
