Description

Holsworthy Ales is a micro-brewery situated in the heart of Devon's Ruby Country in Clawton, Holsworthy. Brewing began commercially in June 2011 with the aim of producing distinctive, interesting, well-hopped yet balanced beers. With the sole exception of Bee Merry (which contains honey) all of Holsworthy Ales' wide range of ales are vegan friendly in both bottle and draught form. The intention is to make the beers taste as clean and natural as possible so no chemicals are added to the beautiful soft Devon water and no finings are used in any of the ales.

Our aim has always been to supply our beers locally, so they are exclusive and unique to our area. Producing beer and supplying to local outlets has great appeal, reducing food miles and beer travelling time. This approach also allows us to build a good relationship with licensees and the local community.

Cask at Flowerpot, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with minimal tan head and good lacing. The aroma is a combination of malts, lactose and vanilla. Toast malts again the mainstay in the mouth, along with cola and liquorice, plus hints of ginger. It’s a bit thin and watery though. A little bitterness in the finish. Quite nice overall.

Bottle from Devon Drinks, Totnes. Hazy amber with a small frothy head. Traditional styled ale with quite a stated, bitter tasting English fruitiness.

Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Light haze on a coppery brown. Slim but dense just of white foam. Toffee malts and some lightly astringent vine fruit. Taste follows suit really. Fairly bitter. Slightly astringent. Ok at best.

Bottle. A gift from Totnes. Hazed medium amber colour. Thin and dense, creamy white head. Nose has biscuit malt. Touch of fruited tea loaf. Herby hop leaf. Taste has a light caramel sweetness, but is mostly peppery, and leafy bitter. Smooth and easy drinking. Fine carbonation. Some dryness. Light bitter finish. Nice one. Great nick, too.
