The Red Lion, Mold

This Marston pub is another one that was once a Burtonwood house. There are doors to the left and right as you enter. I went in the left room which sounded quieter. This is a long narrow carpeted room with a huge TV at the far end which was turned off until I was about to leave. The opposite bar is a larger long narrow room. I noticed three hand pumps in the other bar which had two unused. The barman told me they had Old Empire. I went for a pint of it (£3.45) and was bought back a pint of murk which smelled sour. I told the young barman that it was off after which he went away and returned saying he had just tasted it and it was OK. I pointed out to him that it was cloudy as hell and rank when he agreed to change it for a pint of keg Banks's Mild. I wouldn't return as this is yet another former Burtonwood outlet that Marston have managed to ruin.
