CWRW (pronounced ‘Koo-ru’) meaning ‘beer’ in Welsh is an international award-winner and as popular today as when it was first brewed in 1998. It remains Evan Evans’ flagship ale. With a deliciously rich, malty flavour and a distinct fruity palate, it’s everything a great Welsh ale should be.

Cask @ Old King's Arms Hotel, Pembroke. Deeper golden with a glow and a creamy head. Has a rich maltiness which feels sugary as it passes the top of the palate, with an underlying fruitiness to its taste too.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear copper colour with a thinnish creamy off-white head. Aromas of red fruits, caramel and bread. Taste is toasty burnt bread, roasted malts, orange marmalade and a touch of chocolate. Burnt bitter finish. Medium to full body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite a complex beer with lots of depth of flavour. Nice.
