Description
Clearwater Brewery started life in 1998 in the town of Great Torrington, North Devon. Taking its name from the purity of the local water supply that forms an integral part of each tantalising mouthful of beer, the company has become an ever-growing local success story. From small beginnings the company used carefully selected recipes to build a local following and a well-earned reputation for delicious and characterful ales. Clearwater’s reputation and its beers have gradually grown throughout the local region. Clearwater Brewery relocated in 2014 where it now sits nestled in the hillside overlooking the maritime town of Bideford, North Devon.

Bottle. Dark copper in colour with a decent, off-white head. chocolate and berry fruit aroma. Flavour was sweet, with caramel, more chocolate and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Bottle from West Country Ales
Light chestnut brown...frothy white head..reasonable lacing
Aroma - light caramel malts...very light citrus and grass hops....light aroma....hint of smoke
Taste - Caramel malts....very light grassy hops...bit of citrus...some toffee...bit watery...flavours a bit too muted
Palate - Medium carb....thin body....light tangy. Finish as main flavour but leaves a mouth-coasting of light caramel toffee.
Overall - Reasonable bitter...a tad watery....would probably be better cask

cask @ the Anchor Sidmouth. Amber coloured- small head. Slightly fruty aroma. Solid malty base with a nice hoppy touch. Nothing spectacular, but solid and rather nice.
