First impression, I say earthy, Devon says, smells kinda skunked. It is very mild compared to the Belgian Ale we tasted previously. If Budweiser was to brew an english ale, I think it would taste a lot like this. The hops to me have a good flavor. I like the bitterness of hops and as we stated previously, Devon does not. I think what works well for Devon when it comes to a bitter beer is something that has a good deal of malt sweetness to offset the bitterness of the hops.


St. Peter’s Brewery

From the St. Peter’s Brewery description:

“Water is extracted from our own 300’ deep borehole and combined with Soil Association accredited light malted barley from Norfolk. Organic hops provide the distinctive palate. The yeast used is St. Peter’s own single strand variety. The result is a delicate, clean, crisp, lightly carbonated, traditional English Ale with a full ‘citrus hop’ aftertaste”

Overall, I think this beer has a good flavor, the bitterness of the hops are not too overpowering and the taste does not linger too long.

I think the best pairing for this beer would be pub fare. Something salty or greasy would go great with the flavor of this beer.
