Originally Nethergate Best Bitter, this is our oldest recipe first created in 1986. It was showcased in the Cambridge Blue as Dew Drop. It has won many awards in its time, most recently the SIBA Gold Medal for Best Bitter 2014. A Chestnut coloured best bitter, biscuit malt dominates the warm, well-rounded roasted background with a wonderful bitter finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Neatly clear darkish amber with a fine, creamy head. Looks seem to be this beerโ€™s best feature though, as it hasnโ€™t really got much flavour to offer. Somewhat malty notes, a touch of bitterness and a somewhat metallic edge. Quite ordinary. 290303

Handpull cask at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Light brown bitter with some hop and some caramel malt but a bit bland. Harmless enough

Slightly hazy brown color, short head. Aroma of malt, dried fruit, roasted. Creamy taste of roasted malts, prune. Softly bitter. Very nice beer.

Clean amber color. Very nice hoppy aroma. Smooth body, a lot of caramel, correctly balanced but less interesting than the nose lets suppose.

A nice amber beer with a very nice head. It doesn't have much aroma. The flavor is slightly sweet and slightly bitter - a little flat. Nice slightly bitter beer, but not so bitter, that I would caracterize it as a bitter.
