Abbey - Bellringer

I didn't really have high hopes for this - I wasn't aware of the brewery, I bought it from the garden centre while bored on a Saturday afternoon - so I was quite surprised when it turned out to be quite reasonable. Gently hoppy, with a biscuity malt, and hints of bread and soap (er, in a good way), and a nice, bitter finish; a rather summery golden ale that still went down well on a dank Tuesday in January.
