Exmoor Fox

◎ Appearance

Deep gold in color with excellent clarity and a bright sheen. The head builds steadily and displays strong lacing that clings to the glass throughout the drinking experience. Carbonation is moderate and consistent, forming fine bubbles that rise evenly.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a prominent citrus character, bright and refined, layered beneath a solid malty foundation. Noble hops contribute a restrained herbal and spicy dimension, while the four-malt grist adds subtle caramel notes without dominance. The overall impression is balanced and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a smooth, malty palate that develops quickly mid-mouth into delicate citrus and gentle spice. The bitterness emerges with restraint—never aggressive—and integrates seamlessly with the malt backbone. The interplay between sweetness and hop bitterness creates a long, bittersweet trail that sustains throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish begins softly bitter before malt returns to the foreground, creating a prolonged bittersweet aftertaste. The ale closes cleanly without harshness, leaving an impression of integrated flavors rather than any single dominant note.
