Salcombe Brewery Co

Christmas Tide (4.8% ABV, bottle)
Deep red/amber with a beige, creamy head that stays well, there’s malt, berry fruit, and a hint of chocolate on the nose. On the palate, it’s everything you want a Christmas beer to be. A robust malt base, but it’s also nutty, with dark berry fruit, milk chocolate, a some spiciness. A great festive beer,

Gold (4.2% ABV, bottle)
Straw coloured with a white head, there’s gentle grassy and melon aromas on this brew. The taste gives a very pronounced note of honeydew melon, along with stonefruit, against biscuity malt. A, light, refreshing, easy-drinking bitter.

Pale Ale (4.6% ABV, can)
Deep golden with a white head, I got notes of orange and a hint of aniseed on the nose. It’s a beautifully balanced beer, the malt lightly bready with some toffee. There’s orange pith, almost marmaladey, like an English IPA. I really enjoyed this and look forward to meeting it again.

Seahorse (4.4% ABV, bottle)
A bright, well-conditioned amber with a tight, full, off-white head. It looks so inviting! The aroma is light malt and some spicy hop. This is a really good amber bitter, straddling, as it should, that fine line between golden and malty bitter. The malt character is on the line between biscuit and bready, and the hop light citrus, slightly spicy. The body’s good, nice and smooth. Very good indeed, and beautifully refreshing.

Shingle Bay (4.4% ABV, bottle)
Golden in colour, this had lots of carbonation, with a billowing, slightly off-white head. Not too much on the nose, but there’s some spicy hop. On the palate, it’s crisp and refreshing, more of that spicy hop and some lemon citrus notes against biscuit malt. Just what the doctor ordered for a sunny summer afternoon session.
