Roughtor was our second beer, a follow up to St Nonna’s. This is a well hopped amber ale, lovely flavour along with a medium bitterness. Roughtor (pronounced Row-tor) is the second tallest hill in Cornwall, situated on Bodmin Moor, near Brown Willy.

Bottle from the Bottle Bank. Appearance - deep but clear amber with a decent head. Nose - mainly lemon notes. A hint of pale malt. Taste - toffee and citrus. Biscuits too but dominated by the toffee. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - decent ale.
