Translates as "That’s Lovely!" in English and it is. It’s a very healthy textured and tasty golden ale with a fine mild maltness in its aftertaste.

Bottled. Hazy amber, rich firm head. Sulphury nose. Bready malt with some cardboard submerged in chlorine. Sweet anf full bodied. The chlorine gets overpowering and drenches most other flavours.

Nice hazy golden amber coloured body with a copper glow and a very nice one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of caramel, apricots, cereal, metal, pears and a touch of spice. Medium-bodied; Sharp malty flavour at first fading to some metallic and bloody tastes with a touch of nuts and caramel, but mostly watery. Aftertaste shows a lot of caramel and malt, but almost nothing else. Overall, a pretty bland and watery beer after the initial tastes. Definitely good to try a welsh beer, after the folk life festival (in Washington) that I couldn’t get one at the festival, but found a few bottles at Chevy Chase. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits in Washington, DC on 25-July-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 22-November-2009.
