Where we brew in North Wiltshire the story of Elmer – the flying monk – is well known. Gliding from the top of Malmesbury Abbey with a pair of self-made wings, his flight was a triumph (despite the two broken legs). Like Elmer, we encourage ambition and innovation. However, with light floral aromas and a subtle citrus zest, this beer provides a somewhat softer landing when it comes to hitting the palate.

Cask-conditioned on gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 23/10/2014. Deep gold with a slight, white, head. Fruity aroma of tangerines and hedgerow fruits. Flavour had more fruits, some biscuity mlats and decent, bitter, finish. Good.
