Description
Folklore abounds in the marketing of Skinner’s Cornish beers, which were first supped in 1997. Steve Skinner heads a successful Cornish business whose beers are seen throughout the county and nationwide too via good wholesale distribution. Countless barrels and hundreds of awards later, our brewery has grown but remains a family business rooted in the area we live and work, whether that’s doing our bit for our corner of the planet, enjoying a bit of surfing or having a go at some shanty-singing.. The brewery has a 25-barrel plant, a good beer shop and well presented visitor centre.
In early 2023 taken over by Goodh Brewing.

Cask at the Cove, Covent Garden, London. Light amber color with a white head. Mild floral aroma. Medium body with mild carbonation. Rather grassy/herby/floral/spicey hops over mild caramel. Temperature was just right to bring out lots of flavors; what real ale is all about. Finish is clean; really good.

[cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Sweet honey dominates the foretaste, a very ordinary bitter comes through afterwards. Very smooth & easy drinking, yet a little on the bland side. Good balance of sweet and bitter despite the honey.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroam is sweet malty and dominated by caramel, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Dark amber body topped by a thin foamy head, white bubbles and nice laceworks on the glass. Light sweety malt in aroma. Blend of sweet malts and hop bitterness in flavour. Alright (enjoyed in relaxing surroundings at The Lamb & Flag, Oxford 15.03.2008).

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 25 Jan 2008) Dark amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty nose with dark fruit, oranges and nuts. Malty taste with dark fruit and oranges, rather modest bitterness in the finish. Malt sweetness shines through all the way. A decent bitter, but not really exciting.

Cask Conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm
Hazy golden color; persistent thin head; sticky lace. The aroma takes some time to appear, but then it shows some very good hops, delicate, floral, fruity, and with a touch of peanuts. Good mouthfeel, due to the sweetness (more than the average Golden Ale), despite the probably low gravity; it has a crispy malt flavor, very fresh, with an excellent hopping and a touch of peanuts too. Delicate, elegant, complex and satisfactory Ale; excellent.

Draught at The Cove, Covent Garden, London. A light golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light citrusy notes, but also an acidity that reminds me of brewing cereal of some kind. The flavor is sweet with notes of brewing cereal and malt, leading to a slightly bitter finish.
