Description
Bristol born and made to stand out, Butcombe Brewing Co. began life at a time of cultural, social and political change, crafting beer before ‘craft beer’ was even a thing.

You see, at that time, no one was risking it all starting a brewery, making simple, premium, easy-drinking ale. To do so was an act of defiance. Or madness. But, 42 years and a lot of hard graft later, by staying true to our beliefs and Bristolian roots, it looks like owning a resolutely maverick brewing company isn’t such a crazy idea after all. By going against the grain, to work intimately with it, we made our own statement with every pint. And what was true then is just as important today.

Butcombe now produces over 250,000 pints a week from our brewery in Wrington. As times and tastes change, so does our range of beers. Alongside Original, Gold and Rare Breed, you’ll find two craft lagers, Bohemia and Underfall, and two IPAs, Goram and Stateside, plus a range of exciting seasonal and small batch specials.

Pale golden colour with thin head. It's quite bland and doesn't really match the typical profile on American IPA. It's a slightly more bitter golden ale.

330ml bottle from Lidl. Deep gold in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Aroma of citrus hops and tangerines with some malty sweetness. Flavour had caramel upfront, with some slightly earthy malts, more fruit and a dryish finish. Robust and decent drinking.
