Clearwater Brewery
Website: http://www.clearwaterbrewery.co.uk/
"Clearwater Brewery was founded in 1998 by Brian Boughton. He produced Cavalier and High Tide beers which were highly regarded in Devon and particularly liked by Barry Raynes and Barrie Marden - so much so that they bought the brewery from Brian in 2009.
Barrie is the head brewer and we now produce four perfect pints (or any amount you require). We still use the recipes for Cavalier and High Tide but we now call them "Devon Dympsy" and "Devon Darter". We both love Devon and wanted Clearwater beer to be "Devon's Own" so a rebranding was required. We also produce "Real Smiler" and "Proper Ansome" a summer ale and dark bitter beer. We also produce one seasonal ale, a 5.2 ABV, "Winter Ale"."
Clearwater Brewery's Real Ales
The following is a list of Clearwater Brewery's Real Ales that we have stocked or are coming soon.
Real SmilerPercentage: 3.7% ABV | Units: 2.1 per Pint 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. |
Proper AnsomePercentage: 4.2% ABV | Units: 2.4 per Pint 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. |
Just what we needed. Loved other peoples dogs!
