Blue Stoops

Beer drinkers constantly judge Ale to be their favourite tipple, making it the brewery’s bestseller.

Tasting Notes: This light chestnut-brown session beer has a fresh, grainy, biscuity nose with a hint of fresh citrus fruit in the background thanks to the use of intricate hop grist of Goldings, Challenger, Brewers Gold and Styrian Goldings

As subtle as the creature after which it is named, this is one of Exmoor Brewery’s most popular ales.

Tasting Notes: Four malts are mixed in the mash tun and deliver a graceful and sleek malty mouthfeel. Hops are Goldings, producing a burst of delicate citrus and slight spice on the mid-palate, and Progress, which soothes the finish with a soft bitterness, while more malt comes forth to produce a delicious and lingering bittersweet character.

This is a single-hopped ale, with Fuggles providing deep booming earthy hop notes on the nose.

Tasting Notes: Malt is the king on the palate with hints of autumn berries, chocolate, toffee and caramel ruling the roost, until the long dry finish, which also has a subtle restrained fruitiness.
