Cwrw Glaslyn/Glaslyn Ale is a fine golden premium bitter brewed from Welsh mountain water and natural ingredients.
The name comes from the mighty Glaslyn river which begins among the upper slopes of 'Yr Wyddfa' (Snowdon) before cascading through the Aberglaslyn Pass until it reaches Porthmadog Harbour and the Irish Sea beyond.

Pint at The Eagles Inn, Llanuwchllyn, Wales. Great golden colour, floral English hops with fruity notes. Has a good rounded bitterness. Very refreshing. I look forward to many more pints of this on my future trips to Wales.

Cask @ White Cross Inn, Bradley. Hopped golden ale, has a thin head, and bitter hopped in taste. Goes down well.

3rd August 2012 saw me in ‘The Crown Inn’ Oakengates and having four hand-pulled pints of this fine brew. Almost clear body of light amber/deep gold with a white, lasting head of bubbles. Very floral nose: some malts in the aroma as well, but completely overshadowed by the floral hops. The taste is almost a reverse of the smell: the hops now playing second fiddle to the maltier content and only coming into their own as the mouth dries and a semi-bitterness arrives. Medium bodied; and easy to drink (hence the four pints).

From the P7 Ross Bar at GBBF’11, cask, one-third pint. Plain golden body. Naked surface. Hoppy nose of hay and a lemony touch. Sweet tropical fruits in flavour. Sweet fruity end with little bitterness (London, 03.08.2011).

[Cask at Y Branwen, Harlech] Golden amber with a large white head. A vague fruitiness, and a smattering of flowers in the dry finish, but it’s rather thin and there’s not a lot to it. Their Snowdonia Ale was better.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 1/11/10. Deep gold with a slight white head. Sweetish aroma of apricot with a whiff of diacetyl and some grassy hops. Easy drinking, with more fruit, cereal malts and a decent bitter finish. Ok, despite the butterscotch.
