GUIDE 7th – 9th OCTOBER

GUEST BEERS St Austell — Tribute
Tribute is a magnificent example of a bronze coloured English bitter with a rich aroma of biscuity malt and tart citrus fruit. Juicy malt, hop resins and tangy fruit coat the tongue, while the finish is long and lingering with a fine balance between malt, hops and fruit, finally becoming dry and bitter. 4.2 abv
St Austell — Trelawny
Trelawny was named after the Bishop of Trelawny and produced using Galaxy and Golding Hops. 3.8% Abv
Purity Brewery — Mad Goose
Mad Goose is named after the fearsome geese that patrol the brewery. Brewed with Maris Otter malt, Caragold and wheat malt with Hallertau bittering hops and Cascade and Willamette aroma hops. Light copper in colour with a great zesty hop character with citrus overtone. 4.2 abv
Bath Ales — Barnstormer
Rich in fruit with hints of chocolate, this full-bodied dark ale derives its character from deeply roasted malts. It is a complex but very satisfying beer. 4.5 abv
Bath Ales — Hare & Hop
Hare & Hop is a “hoppy autumn ale”. Described as crisp and dry ale, with heavy hints of fruit, notably kiwi and gooseberry, it has a fresh, heady aroma. 3.9% Abv
