Bottle. Copper-amber with a thin head. Has an interesting and tasty mix of light grainy malts, fruits and very mild caramel notes.

3rd beer in my ’home alone’ tasting evening on 14th Mar 2015. 500ml bottle poured into a UK pint sleeve, it looked lovely, a clear light amber body with a full and lasting white foamy head. Malty based nose with a splattering of hoppiness easing into the aroma: the taste similar. The malts do rule the flavours but only just, this is nicely balanced and easy to drink. Another winner from Wales!

Cask @ No Sign Bar, Swansea. Pours copper with a bit of head. Aroma of crystal malt and blueberries. Sweet fruity but balanced initial taste which is followed by a bitter finish. Pleasant lingering aftertaste. Refreshing but not so much flavour.
