Description
Cotleigh Brewery began life in Devon in 1979, in the old stable block of Cotleigh Farmhouse at Washfield near Tiverton. Immediate success meant that in 1980 the brewery moved to the historic brewing town of Wiveliscombe in Somerset. Its original owner Ted Bishop was succeeded in the early 80's by John and Jenny Aries, who built upon the brewery's success. The brewery moved in 1985 to the current location in order to fulfil ever-increasing demand. Currently is Stephen Heptinstall the sole owner of the Brewery.

Clear orange color, short head. Aroma of sweet hops, like an IPA. Sweet taste of candy, bit fruity.

Sampled cask conditioned. Dark brown, slightly hazy. Light bodied. Slighly acidic, but refreshingly so, somewhat roasty. Not much bitterness, so instead there is this unusual acidity and a hint of fruitiness in the finish.
