I'll be making my closest approach to Wales in 2025 tomorrow - just one mile from the border, so it seemed appropriate to raid the cellar for this one bought there a couple of years ago. Golden in colour with a very traditional taste for these isles, it's a hoppy pale ale with a fair bitterness to it.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Opalescent, orange golden colour with small to average, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral hoppy and minimally grainy, pale malty aroma, hints of petals. Taste is minimally grainy, pale malty with some residual and mildly bitter, floral hoppy, hints of petals.
Watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Simple and monotonous - not that impressive.
