Description
First and foremost, we love beer as much as you, it's why GT Ales was born. It started in 2013 from my garage at home, where we brewed on a lovely little 100litre set-up. Offering samples to friends and family, we were overwhelmed by the positive feedback and the resounding 'you should be selling this commercially', and so got samples out to local pubs, shops, restaurants and hotels. The response from customers' from the offset was amazing, although the nano set up was working to capacity to meet the demand. Not a bad problem to have, but we wanted to keep brewing and making our beers accessible to a wider audience.

Cask @ Ship & Pilot, Ilfracombe. Darker clear golden colour with a thin head. Has some grainy-sweet malts in its nose, is a more regular bitter in taste, with its dry pale ale texture more evident in its aftertaste where a hint of fruitiness exists.

Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person, not the place. Hazy, pale amber. Wisp of white head. Nose has stewed apple. Some leafy hop. Some spicy malt. Mostly smells oxidised, though. Taste is papery and a bit sweet. Thin body. Some bitterness at the end. Not good.
