500ml Bottle conditioned: 8 days passed it’s BBD when poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 23 May 2013. Lovely looking brew: bright amber with a huge off-white head, even though it was poured slowly and carefully to ensure the sediment stayed in the bottle. Aroma of an English Summers day in a floral garden (yes, I know it’s brewed in Wales). This is a well balanced beer, the malts giving it a slightly sweet front with the hops providing a mini citrus and bittering finish. Medium bodied and almost smooth on the palate, the 5.8% ABV hidden nicely within the flavours and texture of the brew, a fine beer and by far the best of the three I’ve had from this brewery.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s an unclear, light amber beer with a very small off-white head. Fruity and sourish aroma with a touch of green pine cones. Quite bitter tasting, with some toffee and fruityness. Slightly sour too, finishing bitter and sour. Medium body. Not much pleasant going on here. 110829
