Drink % Brewery
Abbot Ale 5.0 Greene King PLC

Full flavoured, smooth and mature taste with fruit cake characters , a malty richness and superb hop balance.

Tasting Notes: Mahogany in colour and brewed for longer to create a rich malty, and mature flavour.

Exmoor Gold 4.5 Exmoor Ales Ltd

In the world of beer the eyes have it when it comes to ordering ale, something that Exmoor completely understand back in 1986 when they produced the first modern Golden Ale, Exmoor Gold.

Tasting Notes: In the glass, Exmoor Gold is an appetising and enticing gold in colour. The nose is an interplay between a fresh bouquet of grassy and floral hop and a subtly soft, fluffy caramel-tinged maltiness. The palate sees more balance between gentle grainy maltiness and sprightly floral, citrusy fresh hop fruitiness

Newsome Noel 5.0 Great Newsome Brewery

Fruity contemporary IPA style golden beer.

Tasting Notes: Golden/ Floral/ Citrus Hop/Water, Barley Malt, Wheat Malt, Whole Hops, Yeast

Plum Pudding 4.8 JW Lees

JW Lees Plum Pudding is a lush fusion of fruity flavours—a mahogany, festive brew with a hint of purple. Rich and smooth. It captures the essence of festive indulgence with a balanced blend of warmth and subtle sweetness reminiscent of a traditional plum pudding. Available Mid November - December.

Tasting Notes: Brewed with pale ale malt, Styrian Goldings hops and a hint of ripe fruit. A rich dark beer full of Christmas pudding fruitiness.

Santi-Freeze 4.5 Burton Bridge Brewery Ltd

This golden-coloured beer has strong, inviting hop aromas, leading to a full-bodied flavour and a dry, spicy, bitter finish, with hints of orange zest.
