Pale ale in character and sweet in aroma, fairly weak texture which holds back the taste.

A subtle pale ale brew as it is mild in character but still carries a fine taste and finish.

36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival (July 2012) in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn was the setting for my tasting of this beer. Gravity poured pint: pale amber, almost golden in appearance, on top a thin covering of white foam. The aromas were of gentle hops and summer fruits; the taste however was malty and although there was a dry hop semi-bitter finish, it came across as a fine blend and a good, interesting brew.

36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn was the setting for my tasting of this beer. Gravity poured half-pint: amber body with a thin covering of white bubbles on top. Produced with Devon Honey: I couldn’t detect any honey presence in either the aroma or taste but it did have an interesting feel to it. The nose was a mixed bag of smells: mild malty molasses and fruity esters blending together nicely. The taste was again malty, but the hop element came into its own a bit more and the beer had an underlying bitterness that was refreshing and crisp. As the mouth dried the hop dry bitterness became even more prominent. Should have had a pint (but so many beers to try).
