Philip Pirrip		31 Aug 2012	Best Tiger I have had for a long time and best beer in this pub too. Everything in nose, taste, mouthfeel and lipsmacking was as an English best bitter should be
Philip Pirrip		26 Jun 2012	Tried with and without sparkler and the sparkler version won by a neck
Philip Pirrip		24 Apr 2012	I think we all forget, in the rush for "extreme" beer experiences, that people at the likes of Everards produce a fine and traditional bitter.

Andrew		15 Aug 2010	This was Tiger at its best. Was it complex, hoppy, full of character? No. It was a classic Midlands session bitter. Very well constructed, sweet, fruity and with a refreshing, watery hop finish. Top stuff.
