Commercial Description:
Cask & Bottle Conditioned, Seasonal, Winter;
In certain parts of the country, Boxing Day is known as Turkey's Delight day because the turkeys are delighted to still be alive and well. We at Summerskills are delighted to have created this beer for you to enjoy over the Festive Season, whether to accompany your Christmas Lunch or just to imbibe by an open fire. Deep red in colour with a dollop of malt and a god scoop of hops in the taste, it is made from Devon Malt and Hereford (H) and Worcestershire (W) Hops, Goldings supplied by Mr. Redman of Stockton (W) and First Gold by Mr. Davies of Dormington.

English beer #100 bottle, bought at Tucker’s Maltings. Slightly hazy brown colour, impressive and long-lasting head. Very fruity nose. Full-bodied with warming alcohol present from the first sip. Malty body with some fruit: orange, orange peel, orange marmalade, a shy hint of peach and mango perhaps. Towards the finish more and more hoppy, resulting in a citrusy hoppy-bitter and dry finish. Delicious.

Bottle.Brown and slightly murky. Low carbonation with malts dominating.Left some sediment and was excellently bottled. Nice for a cold winters evening.

(Bottled, bottle conditioned). Red-brown, quite lively. Hoppy scent with some sweet malts. Very carbonated, bitter with a very dry end. Hops and winter berry fruit at the front of the mouth, then a sour malt aroma at the back. Sticky sweet aftertaste. Quite rich but quite good.
