Jenning's Golden Host

I picked up a bottle of Jenning's Golden Host (4.3% abv) whilst on my weekly pilgrimage to Tesco. Having enjoyed most of Jenning's beers earlier in the year, I was keen to discover what the fuss with this beer is all about. The beer itself is a golden coloured bitter, which is about all that is remarkable about it... Its clean, its a bitter and its hopped with Goldings. besides this its rather pale.

What is worth noting is that thi sbeer is in fact drinkable, which is more than I can say for any other beer which falls under the Marston's family of companies! On a trivial note, the beer is named after a line in I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth. It just so happens that old Willie Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, where the original Jenning's brewery resides. Now, one can't stop and think how the great man would be dissapointed with this beer!

Geez, you would think that there was more to Cumbria than William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter but apparently there is not! Linky
