Butcombe Gold
A subtle floral and herby aroma meets a full body, and the taste runs part bitter, part sweet. This golden ale is brewed from Maris Otter malt, with the same ingredients and hops the brewery has always used for it. During fermentation the gluten is taken out, and it goes into the best-selling fish and chips on Butcombe's pub menu. 4.4% in the bottle.
