Edwin Tuckers Devonshire Prize Ale

Formerly brewed at Teignworthy
Style: Bitter
Newton Abbot, England

[500ml bottle from Tuckers Maltings, Newton Abbot] Pours a dirty amber-gold with a lasting creamy white head. Little carbonation. Smells pleasantly malty. Initially thirst-quenching. Taste is of digestive biscuits with a dry, bitter and slightly sour finish that leaves you wanting more beer - preferably a completely different beer. I didn’t enjoy this one much.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Tuckers Maltings. Bright copper with white head. Lovely, light clean flavours with a crisp malt and a sparkling light hop note. Refreshing and dryly bitter. Good stuff.
