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 at the Guildford. Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of grains, light lemon. Taste is more of the same. Finishes thin, a bit dull to be honest.

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Common Halloween Beer Festival - Le Gothique, London. Pours clear, bright gold with a frothy, white head. Nose of pale, lightly doughy malts with hints of lemon, too. Light to medium sweet flavor with basic white bread pale malts and supporting citrus zip. Light bodied with fine carbonation; in great condition. Sweet finish with mellow straw bitterness, some faint lemon rind. An excellent low ABV session beer.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 29/12/12. Clear mid amber with a thin off white head that clears to the edge and leaves a film. Nose is pale malt, light fruit notes. Taste comprises light hops, pale malt, summer fruits. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Ok drinkable stuff if a little on the bland side.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Alice BS. Hazy golden with a small, rough white head that dissipates completely. A dry, fresh fruitiness in the nose with a whiff of citrus. Light in body, completely flat, citrus notes and a dry lightly hopped finish. But fairly fresh and drinkable. 051011
