Tribute is brewed by St Austell Brewery in the Cornish town of the same name. No, there isn't a town in Cornwall called Tribute.
St Austell Brewery's 4.2% pale ale is sold in a brown 500ml bottle with gold and purple labelling which tells us that Tribute is "a moreishly drinkable beer". As with all beers I haven't tasted before, I like to let the first one dictate whether or not it is moreishly drinkable. Luckily for St Austell, Tribute is very moreish. Excellent presentation, although perhaps the colour scheme is a tad regal considering Cornwall's long-running quest for self-rule.
Tribute complements poultry dishes well - try it with spicier chicken dishes. Its citrus component is not overwhelming and gives the odd subtle surprise. A very enjoyable beer, one of the better pale ales brewed in England. Sorry, Cornwall.
CJ09/10 A moreish pale ale with subtle hints of orange zest. Strikes a good bitter/sweet balance.
