Exmoor Gold


This is more like it! This is probably my favourite golden ale of all time. Those who carefully read all the comments may have noticed that this has already had a mention on February 9 under Cotleigh's Buzzard and I am very glad that it has made an appearance in its own right now. Exmoor Ales claims to be the oldest brewery in Somerset and is the other brewery in Wiveliscombe. Its website is at http://www.exmoorales.co.uk/.


Exmoor Gold claims to be the original golden ale and it was certainly the first I came across. The bouquet has a hint of vanilla with citric hops. It starts bitter sweet on the palate and finishes dry and intensely hoppy. Dee-lish! It is 5% ABV. The label says that it is brewed using traditional methods and the finest natural ingredients, but the only clue it gives about what it contains is that contains barley malt.
