This smooth, honey-coloured ale celebrates the audacity of Tewdric (also known as Tewdrig), a onetime King of Gwent and self-imposed hermit. In the seventh century A.D. he abandoned his life of solitude in the Tintern hills to lead and inspire the Welsh to victory over the Anglo-Saxons at the battle of Pont y Saeson. He received mortal injuries and is believed to have died at the spring now known as St Tewdrig’s Well in Mathern. His passing is commemorated on January 3rd.

The combination of Fuggles and Northern Brewer Hops with blended pale and crystal malted barley produces an ale with a dry bitter character and tangy core. A firm kegged favourite in our local hostelries.

Old rating from 01-02-15 - 500ml bottle from the brewery on my Wales trip. Pours a dense brown in colour with a white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, nuts, toffee, dough & malt. Medium body. Sharp medium bitter finish. Enjoyable

Bottle, 500 ml ,shared with Max. Cloudy orange, small white head. Malty, some caramel, light fruit, quite bland and bit sourish. Seems off.

I like this brewery, so it was a treat to see them at Bedford Beer Festival. Dark gold/light brown with lively white head. Citrus and bread aroma. Lighter notes of toffee and astringency. Taste was all over the place. Sweet, bitter and sour in varying shades. Bitter/sour wins out in finish. Ok but not exceptional.

Cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, off-white head. Some doughy malts in the nose, light toast. Light sweet flavor, kind of nutty with light caramel and subtle diacetyl, dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild sweet finish, faintly nutty now with some light, leafy bitterness and wet wood. Pretty mediocre.
