Cardiff Mini-break Beer#37. Golden-red in colour, not a colour I usually describe. It's a very sessionable red too, mildly sweet in its hop balance with a bit of carbonation impacting too.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle picked up somewhere on my South Wales trip last year. Past it's best even though the BBD is a month away, although it improves as it settles. Pours a light brown colour with a tiny off white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, citrus, nut, chocolate & sweet malt. Medium body. Dry sweet caramel finish. Passable in the end.

Can from Wales Ales. Cloudy amber brown with a lively off white foam to start but settles to a nice covering. Aroma of dusty malt, biscuit, blackcurrant, nuts. Taste is somewhat earthy with blackcurrant, light yeast, malt, citrus. Body is a bit on the light side, lively carbonation, semi drying, nice bitterness in the finish. Mixed.
