Traditional, Malty, Amber Ale. Our amber coloured, malty bitter. An easy drinking rich amber coloured Best Bitter; full of malty character. This is our brewery tap brew... It is named after our historic brewery tap The Sportsman, in Newtown Powys, which was once the town lock up and the home of a great many tales. Bottle conditioned.

Cask at GBBF 2017, day 3 - London. Pours clear russet with a frothy, off-white head. Toasted grains in the nose, dried berries. Light sweet flavour with nips of brown sugar, more berries, a little toffee, leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Nicely balanced finish, further toasted grains, a little earth, more berries. Not bad at all.

Cask ale, half-pint, shared with Finn at Lime Kiln. Ruby dark body, bubbly off-white head, clingy lacing. Bread and dried fruity nose. Blended taste of caramel malts, earth and dried fruits. Short malt-fruity ending. Fair enough. (Sunday pub crawl in Bristol 30.04.2017).

Bottle. It pours an unclear dark amber colored body under a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma has a faint caramel maltyness, but it’s mostly fresh carrots. Lots of carrots. It’s quite thin on the palate, with a low level of carbonation. Dry. Caramel malts in the back, with a good dash of carrots and cooked vegetables. Rather horrible this one. Sure, I like carrots, but this is rediculous. 140927
