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 at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a tight cream head; malty aroma; smooth and creamy in the mouth with a nitro feel, and caramel and malt flavours; then a light bitterness with a biscuity finish. A simple straightforward bitter.

On cask at the Caley Picture House. Appearance - amber with a generous lacy head. Nose - a hint of fruitcake but of the burnt variety. Caramel too. Taste - more caramel and dry cake. Palate - close to medium bodied. Dry through middle and finish. Overall - a bit too dry.

Bottle, a gift from the in-laws. Feint earthy aroma, with malty roast hints. Light chestnut. Thin creamy white head. Initially a very light sweetness, with underlying bitterness. The latter gains in strength. Malty, even a bit chocolate. Light bodied. Watery, Soda-esque carbonation. Long but low key finish. Hmmm... it’s actually a decent enough pint. Went well with my cheese sarnie. Overall, though, it’s all rather low key.

Cask at Normandie, Tenby. Pours a hazy amber with floaters! Aromas of biscuity malts and red fruit. Tastes similar, with a touch of hop bitterness. Good body, good finish, but not well kept.

GBBF. Cask. Clear amber beer. Light semi dry palate. Watery malt but with a decent streak of citrus comes through. Finishes semi dry.

bottle, from Bacchus Crickhowell. Clear golden colour, mid-soized white head. Light-bodied. Good malty background with grassy hops and a pleasant fruity touch, concisting mainly of citrus fruit. Light and delicious.

Cask (Central Bar JDW,Cardiff) - Golden in colour. Malty aroma with light hoppy and fruity notes. Slightly musty taste with fruity and hoppy notes. Drinkable but could be more exciting but decent value at the price.
