Clearwater Brewery

Traditional style Brown Ale with hints of blackcurrant, well balanced and hoppy with a bitter finish.

Tasting Notes: Blackcurrant, fruity, bitter, hoppy

Full bodied strong ale, guaranteed to warm you through. A sweet and malty aroma presents the caramels and smoky hints of Belgian style ales. Ruby in colour with a hint of amber.

Tasting Notes: Hoppy and leafy tannins, with a licorice edge surrounds the clean, fresh centre of the beer's flavour. With further sips the taste goes on to encompass grape skin and moist tobacco notes, before heading fruitily further towards stewed plums and a light tang of grapefruit.

Formerly "High Tide" this is a fruity, copper ale. With an aroma reminiscent of grapes the taste is a nutty, light bitterness.

Tasting Notes: Devon Darter asserts its unique character right from its first scent, sending forth first rich chocolates, then towards a surprisingly ripe, almost tropical fruit bloom. It''s smooth pour amasses a calm but formidable head to the ale, the bubbles of which disperse and regroup to release bursts of peach, faint toffee, and coastal grasses. The first taste is a short hop note with a hint of sea side salt in the air. Further tastes retain a clear, soft centre to the structure whilst the combinations of citrus fruits and grapes jostle for pole position occasionally accented by a light nutty bitterness. The graduating character of Devon Darter is accentuated by it''s in-mouth nature of finishing short on the palate, then delivering an even more varied taste selection with each following sip.

Formerly "Cavalier" this is a smokey, smooth chestnut ale. With a lemony aroma the beer has a citrusy edge and already has a loyal following.

Tasting Notes: Devon Dympsy has a sumptuous lemony aroma, rounded out with toasted sugars. Poured into the glass the beer reveals an oak honey tone, and its nose develops to encompass tart apple freshness and some light malt wisps. The first taste delivers a primarily citrusy edge, but extends to touch upon delicate hop tannins, finishing with a faintly smokey air. Dympsy is extremely drinkable, and - after a deceptively light start - unfurls layers of evocative flavour and scent, forming an ale of bright citrus eddies and heady pastoral undercurrents.

Our bitterest beer for the more discerning drinker. Malty flavoured and dark in colour, we believe it will be a favourite for years to come.

Tasting Notes: Proper Ansome starts as it means to go on, with a gentle opening of the bottle that gives way to fresh, immediate hoppy aromas, a relatively calm overall pouring nature, and a caramel colour. The layering in ones first taste is a pleasant combination, very smooth feel to the mouth, an eddying honeyed sweetness to the taste-buds, and - to the nose - a lightly earthy scent. The aromas continue to swell accordingly, lengthening in the glass to reveal a herbal edge which brings to mind the fundamental quality of ale. And here we find Proper Ansome, resting in the fields at sunset, mellow, rustic, and perfectly in tune with the pastoral rhythms of the South West.

A lighter hoppier beer. Although essentially a summer beer, it will appeal throughout the year due to its refreshing nature.

Tasting Notes: A lovely nose of crisp, fresh cut apples and melon accompanies a honeyed tone in the glass. It has a lightness but nothing is lacking. A faint velvety bubble and a light biscuit taste, along with the most delicate of tannins. No dry mouth or bitterness here. It is in essence a faithful, traditional style ale but also a light, hoppy thirst quencher. A real ale so focused on warm weather that it could conceivably challenge the range of lagers most commonly drunk. Try it cold.

Golden colour, little nose & mild IPA taste.
