This is a blonde coloured craft ale mad using Marris Otter premium malt and American hop Cascade. Initially made for a local festival it was so popular production continued and in 2014 it was selected as one of Devon’s top ales.

A refreshing light blonde craft ale with subtle moreish floral under tones.

500ml bottle conditioned: BB December 2022. Drank at my brothers house on 2nd June 2022. Golden body, white head. Mild citrus front to the nose and taste, decent malty base for the hops to play with, nice easy going brew to have in a hot kitchen while awaiting the evening meal.
