Avocet® is Devon’s original organic real ale. Since it’s creation in 2008, this ale has been a favorite from the start. A distinctly flavoured beer, with a refreshing citrus taste and an attractive aroma.
All our ales are cask conditioned and made using only the finest local sourced ingredients, including traditionally floor-dried, locally produced malts.
Despite its low strength this ale is full of flavour and has character beyond its ABV. Medium golden amber in colour, it has a well balanced flavour enhanced with lots of English Goldings hops.
A great tasting session beer.

Cask half-pint, gravity poured at the Old Fire House, Exeter on 11th Nov 2017. Poured a little 'flat', clear golden bodied, no head. Light citrus lead in both the aroma and taste, some pale malt action below the surface too. OK, but the beers condition did it no favours.

Pale yellow, white head. Very faint citrus aroma. Not a very strong flavour. Grassy citrus, touch of apple, light malt bitter hop. Touch watery.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - pale golden with a decent head. Nose - citrus and some Mr Werthers sweets. Taste - definitely dry citrus this time. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - solid for the style.

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Great Western Hotel Loco Bar. Beige head leaving lacing rings, next to clear pale golden coloured body. Restrained aroma of lemony hops. Citric hints to a pale malty flavour profile. Distant bittersweet ending. Easy going and anonymous (Exeter 27.09.2016).

Cask gravity at The Bell Ivychurch. Clear pale gold lasting white head. Disappointing golden ale. Decent condition. Touch of rubber. Hmm not great. Shame as condition is spanking. Didn’t finish a half.
