Description
Established in 1984 as Barron Brewery by ex publican Richard Barron who converted a redundant cowshed into the brewery. Former brewers' wholesaler Guy Sheppard joined Richard in 1991 when the name was changed to Exe Valley Brewery and the plant was expanded and upgraded. Richard retired from the brewery in 2003 and Guy now runs the brewery on his own account along with two staff including James Fryer who is our Head Brewer.

Half pint served from cask at a fine drinking temperature. Bright, dark brown body, tiny head. Malt-fruity aroma. Caramel malts and resinous hops in flavour promoting a well balanced bitter ending. Well built bitter (Bow Bar, Edinburgh, 27.11.2010).

Cask på Bankers Draft, Sheffield 2 Okt 10. Lys gylden. OK kremskum som forsvinner. Svakt vinaktig aroma. Smaken litt tynn men avrundet fruktig. Kjedelig men OK. Svakt fruktig ettersmak.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Hop Pole (JDW), Tewkesbury 25/09/10. Deep amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Fruity malt aroma with an earthy edge. Malty flavour, with some orange sweetness, damp leaves and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask handpump at FFTMC Oxford, 17-04-10 Pours dark gold, fruity aroma. Not particularly zesty or springlike, although moderately refreshing, fruity, lacking in hops, its ok. A6 A4 F6 P4 Ov12 3.1

Cask. Pours a dark and hazy orangey brown with an off-white head. The nose is rather exotic: overripe fruit and wood. Medium body, flat, notes of both dried and overripe fruit and wood with a lightly tart edge. Subdued bitterness. Quite exciting really. 160110
