A zesty body and citrus aroma with a snappy finish. Drink to inspire you to an evening of passion!
Circa 500BC, during the Celtic Golden Age, most of mainland Europe was dominated by spiritual tribes of Celtic origin.

500ml bottle. Opened two weeks after the best by date, solid for $2.49 a bottle. Hazy orange-yellow body. Foamy white heat laces up the glass. Kind of an odd aroma, some buttery tones Iβm not really enjoying. Medium bodied, somewhat similar to a Session IPA with the grapefruit hops. There is some fishy rancid action going on unfortunately. I hope the other Celt beers are better than this, and that this is better fresh.

Bottle. Gold with an inch of white head. Aroma is floral with herbal lemon, honey. Sweet with hay and honey, quite earthy and little dusty, pithy citrus, a little pine, lingering rather bitter finish. Has a lot of presence for 4.2%. [3.5]For a Welsh beer this is a real citrusy hop bomb. Almost too much bitterness. Label redesign is great.

Cask@GBBF. (staff cask?) Golden color, small white head. Grassy, cut wood aroma. Woody, pear fruity flavor, which is also harsh. Dry aftertaste. Kind of unbalanced.

Bottle at the GJBF 2013 Osaka. Kind of a musty aroma and a clear gold color with a thin white head. Much more bitter than the Taybeh golden ale. It was ok but nothing to write home about.
