Exmoor Gold
Fresh grassy and floral hops meet soft, caramel-tinged malt on the nose. The palate balances gentle grainy malt against floral, citrusy hop fruit. The finish is bittersweet, with citrus weaving in and out. Pale gold, 4.5% in cask and 5.0% in the bottle. Brewed from a single malt in 1986, it is regarded as the first modern golden ale.
