Our house Belgian style pale ale is an ode to St. Dunstan, a Somerset cleric, famed for defeating the Devil with a pair of tongs. He was exiled to Belgium for provoking his King, only to return two years later when the Monarch was driven out by revolution. This beer is our demonstration of the flavours produced by combining light struck, English & European, hops, with farmed and foraged botanicals. The woody, herbal & skunked flavours of these hops, are heightened by the floral notes and spiciness of our botanical blend containing, Somerset Lavender & Scottish Juniper Berries. The base of barley & wheat are fermented with a combination of ale and wine yeasts, for a dry, yet fruity undercurrent. Dunstans Exile is inspired by the complex, yet quaffable beers of Belgian Tradition.

Om keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - golden yellow. Thin head. Nose - oh this is a Belgian Blonde. Orange and pineapple both in dried form. Taste - pineapple and light spice. Palate - creamy and tangy. Medium bodied. Long and dry linger. Overall - please re style as Belgian Ale. A lovely weaker form of the Abbey Tripel style which is amongst the favourites.
