Marstons Pedigree

Ok, Ok, I may have sunk to new lows! This beer was terrible, and I knew it would be before I ordered this pint and the only saving grace was that it was included with the Curry I bought with it!
Where: is the Shakespeares Head (JD Weatherspoons tied house) on the Kingsway near Holborn tube station. What: Curry Club on Thursday nights and; Why: is because we (Rich and I) were damn hungry and needed a cheap feed before finding a nice pub to have a few “good” pints. Pedigree (4.5% abv) is a special bitter from Burton on Trent and beers from this region especially the IPA’s are awesome beers due to the water conditions. This is due to the hardness of the water in the area which allows really bitter beer to taste really good. For some reason, Pedigree is a good beer close to home – or so I hear, but for some reason it does not seem to travel well, especially to London and especially to JD Weatherspoons tied houses. Let me say that I finished the beer, and let me say next time I go to curry club I will probably have a Fosters! BTW I have had Pedigree in a bottle and it is ok, its just the casks that do not seem to travel.
Here is some independent stuff I found on the web about Marstons Pedigree;

Marston's have recently completed a £1M expansion at their brewery in Burton - this means that more of their beer can be brewed in the now famous Burton Union Sets. The hard Burton water helps to make this fine bitter world famous. Pedigree is a pleasing session pint. The primary aroma is of the Maris Otter malt, with a characteristic sulphurous, eggy hint, though this is less noticeable than in the draught version. The Fuggles and Goldings hops push through powerfully in the flavour and last well into the finish. The flavour is not overpowering, however, and is tempered by a hint of syrupy sweetness, lending a richness to the brew. This is a good session bottle, but make sure you try the draught version too.
