Name: Suffolk County
ABV: 4%
Brewery: Nethergate
Style: Bitter
Location: Long Melford, Sudbury
Aroma: Roasted malt with a bed of berry fruits and caramel rich toffees.
Colour: Deep chestnut brown with a one finger ivory coloured head.
Taste: You're immedietely hit with a rush of roasted malt that brings about elements of buttered toast and a discernable nuttiness, this is followed by a hoppy background with a herby, grassy bitterness that gives off a warming effect on the throat. The creamy mouthfeel adds to the experience of this medium bodied bitter.
Verdict: A quaffable bitter with bags of flavour, showing more strength than its low ABV would suggest. Its rich malt and hop flavours hit all the right notes, and are turned up to 11 on the flavour scale. It has a wide and varied palate of flavours and aromas that show off the very best of the brewers craft, it is easy to see why this beer has won many awards. Although it is promoted as a bitter, it is closer to winter warmer in its temperament making it the perfect fireside ale.
Rating: 10/10
