Everards Tiger (Cask)

Cask: Regular.

Best Bitter

A true best bitter with plenty of body and flavor. The character of the ale, as with all Everards ales, is enhanced by the traditional technique of "Dry Hopping" - where whole, dry, aromatic hops are added by hand to each cask of the ale prior to conditioning. An ale which has almost universal appeal due to the exceptionally fine balance of English malt and hops. The finish is long, dry and extremely satisfying.

3.2 Cask at the Windsor Castle W8. I used to love this when I was younger, pints in the Pickerel, awesome. It’s a very old school bitter, no craft nonsense here, needs to be fresh, balanced and quite malty with just a lingering hop finish. Was it as good as I remembered? Probably not on this occasion, didn’t quite carry that hop finish as well, so a vaguely malty bitter. Oh well. And they had two lots of Tim Taylors on cask so what can you do...

3.2 Pint in The Osprey, Newton Mearns. Amber ale with light creamy head. Refreshing ale with bitter, floral overtones. Perfect accompaniment to crisps or nuts.

3.2 Clear amber pint with a thick creamy head. Sweet malty flavour, very slight almost metallic hint in the aftertaste. Would get a touch sickly after too many but it’s quite nice.

3.0 Cask @ Crown and Anchor, Welby. Pours clear, copper coloured with a creamy white head. Little aroma, taste is malty with soft fruit and maybe a little lactic acid. Pleasant, slightly bitter finish

3.0 Cask at The Roebuck, Leek (Titanic) A clear amber colour with a creamy white head. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, some biscuit and slight apple. Taste of caramel, subtle toffee, slight biscuit, a little yeast, some apple and maybe grape. Light bodied and a smooth texture. A short, biscuity malt bitterness in the finish. Yeah it’s boring buts a pleasant enough session beer. Really smooth too.

2.8 Cask in the Orange Tree, Loughborough. Amber with an off white head. A pretty run of the mill malty bitter. Lacking in flavour and body. Dull but drinkable.

3.0 Part of my 2013 backlog. Deep golden amber colour with a white head. Aroma is caramel. Taste is sweet but a bit on the dull side.

3.0 Cask at The Lych Gate Tavern, Wolverhampton. Deep Gold Beer with white head, nice size. Had this beer numerous times before but before RB. Malty Biscuit notes, Creamy Vanilla. Average drinking bitter.

3.3 Cask at the haymarket. Pours clear amber, thick white head. Aromas of oat biscuits and toffee. Taste is more of the same. Decent, if unexciting.

3.1 On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - amber with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - gentle oatmeal and toffee. Taste - Hobnobs so oatmeal and gentle caramel holding it together. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - it’s balanced but it’s uninspiring

2.3 (cask) clear deep golden-amber colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of yeast, honey and powdered sugar, with notes of heavy cardboard, some pear, scotch and green apple. flavour is mostly toffee, cardboard and light banana, quite twiggy, with a light sweetness and some green tea. flavour is medium-bodied with soft carbonation.

2.2 Mid-brown old-style best bitter. Little aroma, buttery palate with very little hop bitterness and unsurprisingly a very gentle finish. Drinkable but undistinguished. A domestic moggy rather than a tiger.

3.1 Cask. Light orange, slight haze but mostly clear, still, small ring of scummy head. Aroma … is like smelling water really. Body is medium, smooth, low carbonation. Taste is watery with a touch of caramel and almost bretty lemon, softly bitter finish. The wateriness makes it very drinkable, but it’s a bit underflavoured for me.

3.0 Light ruby colour with little head. Inoffensive taste, unremarkable beer. Good but not great.

3.0 Cask handpull at pub in Birmingham. Golden light amber colour with a creamy off white head. Aroma is light caramel, nutty. Quite sweet. Flavour is bland, nutty malt English yeast. Dull beer. Palate is creamy and nitrogenated. Boring.

3.2 Cask. Light hazy copper with a medium sized good lacing off white head. Grain, brewmash, caramel, light butter, nutty. A bit low and not that good on flavour, but the mouthfeel is good. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, light/medium sweet and bitter. Gentle dry finish.

3.4 Pours lovely golden brown with a nice head. One of the smoothest ales I have tasted in a while. Instant hit of creamy toffee and fudge. Excellent session ale.

3.1 Classic English bitter leaning towards English-style IPA in its dry-hopping. Thin creamy head as custom for an English ale, warm amber colour; apply aroma with caramel malts and delicate herbal aromatic hops; creamy, smooth, supple mouthfeel, dried fruits, caramel and some nutty malts, finishing in a mild but long, herbal hoppiness. Very drinkable.

3.4 Caramel flavour. Nice strength. Toffee aroma. Enjoyed this one. Good use of flavours and nice appearance. Amber colour and nice balance between bitter and sweet. Could be a little sickly after several though.

3.1 cazramel and biscuit aromas, deep red colour with thin white head, tastes sweet and buttery quite smooth and nice.

3.4 Golden with dense creamy hand pulled head. Malty aroma. Palette is very creamy. Smooth light malty flavor. Slight bittering and some hop flavors.

3.4 Cask@george IV, lichfield. Amber beer with medium head and very good lacing. Aroma is malts. Taste is malts, mild floral bittering hops and a touch of biscuit. In good condition. Nice.

3.1 Cask at The Wild Boar. Pours clear amber with a medium, creamy white head, medium retention with excellent lacing. Aroma is biscuit and honey malt, dates and light earthy hops. Flavor is malt dominant with light hops and medium bitterness and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.

2.3 Cask at the Hare & Hounds, St Albans on 1 March 2014. Poured a very lightly hazy amber with a spotting white head. Fairly light aroma of tea leaves, caramel and raspberries. Initial flavours of cooked apples, sweet malts and some straw. Finish was light with some earthy notes and toffee.

1.8 clarity was good. dark fruits and roasted nuts primarily on flavor. head died quickly. condition was okay.

3.0 Cask o neills Leicester. Dark amber beige head and lacing. Weak malty aroma. Taste is malty slight hop bitterness. Medium body soft carbonated. Average stuff

2.5 Creamy pour, medium head, not much of an aroma. The taste is primarily hops. An alright beer.

3.3 Cask @ White Star, Stoke. Appearance is dark-ish gold, not quite copper. Fresh orange peel and freshly cut wood in the nose. Taste: yum. Deep, malty, herby, moderately sweet. A very decent ale when served well, but its relative ubiquity means it is often sampled in substandard condition. Have it in a proper real ale pub!

3.2 Cask at The Church Inn, Birmingham. A proper taste of home. Haven’t had this in years. Good head on this. Smells sweet and like caramel. Taste brings it all back slight toffee malt with a short finish. It’s really not that bad.

2.9 How: Cask. Where: Great British Beer Festival (GBBF), 2013. Appearance: Amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma: Sweet fruit, malt. Body: Light body, flat carbonation. Flavour: Caramel, fruit.
