A bitter with an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop aroma. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruit notes alongside subtle undertones of roasted flavours.
Known as Bluestone Bitter in England and Cwrw Gorslas in Wales.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a short-live, frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, fruity, light floral, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

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.

Cask at Pig’s Ear Beer Festival, London. Lightly hazy amber. Mild fruity spicy nose. Light-medium body with a fair amount of spicy hops and mid bitter finish. An uncomplicated, well balanced and nicely drinkable bitter.

On gravity at the Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival, Cardiff 16/6/2011. Deep gold with a slight, off-white head. Crisp aroma, with some slightly yeasty peach fruit and biscuit malts. Fruity flavour with decent malts and a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
