Nethergate Brewery Reviews

madmitch76	3.6 Nethergate Growling Dog Big Sesh IPA 31st March 2024 Can. A light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and has a good fine crispness. Smooth but slightly thin malts, reasonably sweet. Very West Coast style over ripe orange hops, some orange peel. Mild mango. A little floral hop and then a fairly decent hop nibble on the light and crisp finish. Tidy, but West Coast ain't my thing. Still, probably the most hoppy affair I have had from Nethergate.
