Butty Bach is a Welsh term meaning ‘little friend’ – and this charmingly smooth premium ale has certainly made more than a few friendships in its time. We brew it using Maris Otter and Crystal malts together with locally grown Fuggles, Goldings and Bramling Cross hops. With such fine ingredients, no wonder it remains a firm favourite.

Bottle, gift from Tom. Clear amber body with an off-white head. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of butterscotch and lightly roasted malt. Flavour of cereal and bread. Thin body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. There’s not much to report here, the flavour is very weak.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a sweet biscuit malt aroma, with floral hints too. Very slightly grainy mouthfeel, there are fruity and floral notes on top of a sweet biscuit malt backbone, and hint of bitterness in the finish
