This beer was absolutely EVERYWHERE I went in Devon & Cornwall in the Summer of 2007. I drank it on several visits to loads of different pubs. It was mildly depressing that it was so available since it gave the impression that the St. Austell Brewery had become the BMC of the South West. I suppose, since the beer was so solidly good, that was not really such a bad thing!
Standard amber pour with a nice looking bone-white head. Good lace. There’s really not much to say about this beer other than it is pretty much perfectly yo style, with a wonderful hop and malt balance that compliment one another to a T. Very moreish, with a dry finish, this is one of those perfectly sessionable, simple ales that make English brewing great.
A great example of a favorite style for me – can’t go wrong!
