Well, well! Another new brewery! Apparently, Summerskills is the only brewery in Plymouth. It was originally founded in 1983 at Bigbury-on Sea in Devon and changed ownership several times in the ensuing years until it was acquired by the present owners in 1990, by which time it had been in Plymouth for 5 years, having acquired the redundant kit of the Penrhos Brewery (which I had heard of). In 1994/1995, one of their beers was runner up at the Great British beer Festival. More information available at www.summerskills.co.uk
This is a very acceptable beer to my palate. It is golden in colour, hoppy with a slight malty back taste, refreshing and satisfying. It is made from Devon malts, English hops (Goldings from Worcestershire and Pioneer from Herefordshire) and Devon water. It is bottle conditioned and the ABV is 4.7%.
