A light and refreshing blonde/golden ale..

Seithenyn was the keeper of the sluice gates in the fertile netherlands of Cantre’r Gwaelod between Llyn and Ceredigion. He was also a drunkard and got very merry at the king’s daughter’s wedding one day. He neglected the sea-defences, a storm came in from the west and Cantre’r Gwaelod was drowned, creating Bae Ceredigion.

Optisch klar und tiefgoldgelb mit wenig Perlage. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone fällt rasch auf unter einen Zentimeter zusammen. Die Duftaromatik wirkt leicht malzig, süßlich fruchtig-floral bis weinig und zart würzig. Der Antrunk kommt sehr frisch, angenehm spritzig, getreidig, süßlich, aber auch kräftig herb. Am Gaumen setzt sich die getreidige, leicht süßlich keksige Malzaromatik schön fort. Aus dem Hintergrund kommt eine ganz gute florale bis kräuterartige Würze hervor, die gemeinsam mit einer passenden Hopfenherbe ein volles, sehr rundes und harmonisches Gesamtbild erzeugt. Sowohl Mundgefühl, als auch die Süffigkeit darf man als durchaus gut bewerten. Im Nachtrunk verfliegen die süßlichen, malzigen und floralen Noten sehr rasch und machen Platz für eine leichte Säure und eine kräftige aromatische Hopfenherbe. Das wirkt absolut angenehm und passt zu diesem Bier. Etwas später wird die Herbe immer deutlicher, baut dann aber auch wieder langsam ab. Fazit: Ein Blond/Golden Ale wie es im Lehrbuch steht!

I have a 500 ml bottle located at a stop on our time in Wales late this spring. I pull the cap and pour into a Cowtown snifter to see an orange-gold liquid with a slender top of off white foam. The nose is grain and biscuit. And I have a drink, bread, grain, metal and a hint of caramel. Tolerably decent in a style that rarely yields a surprise.

26/9/2020. Bottle shared with / courtesy of SHIG. Cheers! Pours clear bright mid-gold with a small bubbly/frothy white head. Aroma of caramel, butter, sweet malt, touch of grass and herb. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Looked good, otherwise generally ok.
