Buxton - A true, ancient Spa town, stands where the Limestone and Gritstone bedrocks of the White Peak and Dark Peak meet. Pure, delicious mineral water flows constantly out of the ground. For centuries this water source ensured Buxton's prosperity, and is the inspiration for this beer, bringing English malts, Citra hops and the unsung-hero of beer - water together.

500ml Bottle conditioned: BBD before Aug 2013. Poured slowly into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 10 Jul 2013, so just in date! No sediment appeared to leave the bottle: golden, hazy body with a huge foaming snow white crown even though I poured carefully. Carbonisation bubbles could be seen rising to replenish any dying pieces of head. In fact the head appeared to grow as I drank the beer! Just too citrusy for me: I’ve stated many times how I’m fed up with the wave of golden beers and lemon flavours the UK brewers seem to be producing at the moment: this typifies that style. I also know droves of people who love them and this would have some jumping for joy. Without a doubt well made and refreshing: but it is not what I wanted! Scored objectively.

Medium white head. Hazy deep yellow body. Wooden gooseberry aroma with spicy floral notes. Dry-sweet strawy gooseberry taste with spicy floral fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish mealy resiny gooseberry aftertaste with spicy floral wooden notes. Nice, drinkable, full of character. (0.5l bottle, from House of Trembling Madness, York.)
