Absolutely bloody marvellous! They had Dorothy Goodbody's Golden Ale on tap the last time I visited. The Butcher's Arms never disappoints :) Drank it recently from draft at the Butcher’s Arms, Sheepscombe, midway through a hard cycle ride. Absolutely bloody marvellous!

I was impressed, I had just drank a worthingtons and enjoyed this alot more. Its got a really nice fruity initial hit and a good hoppy aftertaste. Quite a complex beer all in all. Can't commet out of the bottle as I haven't tried but as Bailey says above its a great pint off the pump. I had this beer at Paulton football club on draught when my team played away there.

But I once had a pint of Butcombe Gold on tap at the Watchfield Inn near Burnham-on-Sea that was unbelievably good -- as in, all time top 10 good. In short, I'm not sure their beers are complex enough to stand up to pasteurising, filtering and whatnot, but they do seem to like being fresh and cask conditioned.
