Teignworthy Reel Ale

This beer featured as a British Real Ale in a Bottle on the bottled beer review page in the May 2010 issue of BEER magazine, sent free every quarter to CAMRA members, who can also view it online. The magazine is also available in selected newsagents. For more beers featured in this article, see previous post.

Another stalwart with an interesting and colourfully presented range is Teignworthy Brewery, based within major visitor attraction Tuckers Maltings at Newton Abbot, Devon. Teignworthy Reel Ale (4 per cent) is a straightforward but more than decent bitter, fresh and fruity with  firm hop bite from Fuggles, Goldings, Bramling Cross and Challenger.

It’s an amber beer with a little off-white head. A slightly applish autumn fruit and mineral aroma leads to a fine and light palate with nutty malt and pastilles. A slightly acidic palate has old book notes, and there’s a tangy and refreshing slightly astringent finish with burry hops and fruit pie flavours.
