Bottle from Cheers in Mumbles. Appearance - amber and cloudy with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - a little dried orange but mostly grainy. Taste - very grainy indeed. Looking for fruit and hops but not finding it. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - hard work.
