Description
Independent Brewery producing a wide range of Cask, Keg, Bottled and Canned beers. Products available direct from the on-site shop and tours are available about twice a month. Most beers are now gluten free.

From modest origins in July 2011, which saw Nene Valley Brewery operating with just a two-and-a-half-barrel facility, the company moved into its new riverside premises at the end of that year and now operates a 15-barrel installation. Brewing is undertaken once a week with a range of products distributed to local pubs, wholesalers and direct to the public.

330ml can, 6%. Gluten Free. Hazy yellow gold colour with lots of debris, white foam head leaving lacing and gin & tonic aroma. Taste is grainy, zesty lemon rind, gin flavour with some astringent grapefruity bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite OK.

Cask at the Cambridge Blue on 20th June 2018. Rated as a novelty ale. Hazy gold with shallow off-white film and scant lacing. Biscuit malts, and lemon zest in aroma. Fruity in-mouth with bittersweet lemon peel, lasting into a strong finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

BB 10.02.18, another one of the beers misplaced by Yodel. This one didn't survive: huge metallic off flavors, combined with a hardcore bitterness. Really unpleasant, won't finish. No rating.
