Well, well - another one from Cotleigh's. This one I liked- a lot. It is called Monument after the Wellington Monument which was erected to commemorate the Duke of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo in the Blackdown Hills just outside the town of Wellington in Somerset. Wellington is of course not far from Wiveliscombe, where Cotleigh's brew their beers.
The beer itself is a golden ale. It is made from American Cascade hops, which account for its pleasant aroma and fruit filled finish. Apparently it won an award in the Excellence in Food and Drink Awards in 2006 and according to the judges it "tastes like summer and has a fresh aroma and a fruity finish."It is 4.0% ABV and is not bottle conditioned.
As far as I am concerned, this is up there with Barn Owl.
