The Pale Journey #2 Marstons pedigree special pale ale

First impressions
A deep golden appearance, darker for a pale ale (in my opinion)

Strength is 4.5%

Aroma
A slightly malty smell sweet at the same time.  Appetising and enticing 

Taste
Surprisingly bitter, I would have expected it to be less bitter with the maltiness of the smell.  This beer happens to be a favourite of my Mum's (along with Owd Roger from Marston's too) and our tastes do differ.

For me it's a beer that I can enjoy on occasion but not as a session and there isn't really anything special about it for me.

It's one of the most popular (Costco sell it by the crate!) and I suppose it's that down the line aspect (something for everyone) that means it's not for me.
