Old rating - As Gold Beacons. Notes from 24 May 2014. A bottle picked up from the brewery on my recent visit to Wales. A deep golden ale which when poured into a CAMRA pint glass has a good head. Brewed with Progress and Pioneer hops for bitterness, which balances the blend of malts well. A good bitter, one I'd have again.

Draft @ Brecon Tap. Golden. Almost no head. Aroma and taste are subdued. Fruity, malty, grassy and light hops. Refreshing and sessionable. It’s alright.

Bright clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and minerally crisp. Smooth pale malts, not that sweet. Floral bitterness turning tangy and harsh. Mild ripe orange. Light dry finish. A bit harsh without much to balance it.
