Bottle picked given to me as a gift. A friend bought this at the Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. The bottle says Shakespeare’s Globe Ale, and the back says it’s brewed by Nethergate, and this is the only beer i can find brewed by nethergate, that is 3.8%, and has coriander in it. Ok, i digress........
Big aroma of coriander, and lemon, with a touch of spicy hops. Flavor is sweet, but also a bit sour. The coriander dominates with the beer ends with a nice slightly tart lemon aftertase. Interesting beer, something you could really drink alot of i think. Nice offering, i’m quite glad to have been able to try it.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a medium sized frothy almost white head and good lacing. Is slow to clear but does eventually. The aroma has vanilla, malts and biscuits. In the mouth it is sweet with a decidedly creamy texture. Flavour has vanilla, malts and a hint of toffee. Later on traces of apricot and chewy fruit sweets come through as well. Finish is dry with a slight stickiness. This is quite nice – and definitely unusual ! I’ve drank white stouts before but this is the first one that really justifies the title.

Cask. Dark ruby to black pour with smooth beige top. Coffee and chocolate aroma. Taste of coffee and chocolate, moderate roasty quality, milky, a touch sweet but not overly rich, some light berry fruit. Slick medium body. Not overly complex but a very tasty porter.

Can at The Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Lightly hazed gold with a white head. Sweet, juicy tropical fruits - mango and pineapple and peach - in a lightly sticky, resinous mouthfeel. Mild bitterness in the boozy finish. Could be said to be a tad too sweet, but I enjoyed it. Yeah, nice one, easily the best I've had from this brewer.
