Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Truman's Three Theads5.00ExcellentExcellent recreation of an old style of ale. The character is that of a strong mild with sweet malt flavours and a lowish hop rate and bitterness. Fruitiness comes through in the slightly vineous finish. My score 16/20.
