As subtle as the creature after which it is named this is one of Exmoor Brewery's most popular ales. Four malts are mixed in the mash tun and deliver a graceful and sleek malty mouthfeel. Hops are Goldings producing a burst of delicate citrus and slight spice on the mid-palate and Progress which soothes the finish with a soft bitterness while more malt comes forth to produce a delicious and lingering bittersweet character. It would be a crime to swamp this beer with fiery flavours or big bruising dishes. Instead let the self-possessed bittersweetness work its magic with fragrant Thai and Chinese dishes such as Singaporean noodles and sweet and sour pork.
