Cask@Newark Beer Festival, 2008. Brown beer with a mildly toffee aroma and a strongly toffee and bitter flavour. Overall an average beer.

May 31, 2008 Cask conditioned at Thomas Rigby’s, Liverpool. Reddish amber with white head. Malty sweet fuller bitter, quite rich as Hughie points out and definitely fruity. A decent best bitter. Good stuff.

May 5, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber, quite dark. Fresh fruit and cardboard aroma. Taste is rich, sweet grainy malt, beautifully balanced with sour fruitiness. Mid bitter. I thought this was a pretty near perfect English Bitter. I think Nethergate produce far too many beers: this is my twenty-second. Most are okayish. This one is the best by far.
