Andrew		14 Jun 2010	A bit flat and it had a sharpish bite to it. Not the best Wherry I've ever had but I suspect is doesn't do that well on gravity. Still, nice to see it on.

Stephen		24 Sep 2009	Had several excellent pints of this around Cromer in the past they even served it on the steam powered Cromer to Sheringham railway. This was not up to the mark though not clear just uninspired.

Andrew		27 Sep 2008	As the man serving pointed out before he would serve me, it was a bit cloudy but he said it tasted fine. It was, and it did. It had a hint of lemon to it that made it interesting.

Ian		27 Jul 2007	Hey my first half of Wherry in Norwich on this trip. Excellent, right balance of hop, malt and good hop on finish. Delicate and subtle. Nice.

Ian		25 May 2007	This could have been any session bitter. None of that wow factor you get with a good pint of Wherry.

Ian		27 May 2006	Fine, but not up to its usual standard
Andrew		27 May 2006	Pale gold colour with a sparse but high head. Young citric smell with young yeasty citric thin finish. A pale shaddow of what I know Wherry can be

Martin		18 Jun 2005	It just got better. It was great yesterday, now it's fantastic! All the right fruit, bitterness, aroma and balance but it's shifted a gear and got more intense. Wherry wherry good.
Ian		18 Jun 2005	On the Friday night, I rated this as excellent. Well on the Saturday, it got better. More rounded, more fruity. Superb beer that ticks all the right boxes
Ian		17 Jun 2005	Copper brown beer, resiny hop nose, very distinctive of wherry, with good raspberry and citrus flavours. Some acids to balance fruit. A little thin, but a good hoppy finish. Just misses out on a 5 due to the fact that the pint I had at the Crabble Corn Mill was better
Andrew		17 Jun 2005	I love this beer. It had a fantastic rounded bitter taste with a slight metalic/peaty twang. Pale copper coloured and loverly.
Martin		17 Jun 2005	I don't get to taste this much but when I do it is always a good thing. Citrusy, resinous with berry fruits in there too. A great long aftertaste too. More please.
