Great way to round off a Saturday evening with scubahead@scubahead and a trip for a few beers at the Maltings in Newton Abbot.

Bit of a change tonight with a draft Salcombe Gold. I normally have the Edwin Tucker bitter but tonight I fancied a change and I saw the Salcombe Gold in the next pump along so it was an easy choice.

Salcombe Gold is a very easy drinking 4.2% ABV golden ale with American hops and and a fruity flavour with hints of melon, apricot and peach. It was a light refreshing pint and the couple of pints went down very well if I had not been driving I would happily had a few more.

Salcombe is a local brewery established in 2016 based overlooking the river Dart estuary near Kingsbridge. Gold is just one of the many beers they brew I have tried their Amber and IPA in the past and they have all been very pleasant beers both in bottled and draft versions so I was not expecting to have any issues with the beer.
