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.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with elderflowery notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with flowery notes of hops, leading to a lightly bitter finish, where the flowery notes lingers.

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 08. I admit that sometimes I take againse Welsh breweries for no good reason (except Otley and Evan Evans), but this has changed my perception. Gold with lasting beige head. Looks in good nick. Decent malt hop yeast balanced aroma. Hop and toffee in mouth. Very good nick. Surprisngly good flavours. Finish has some refreshing acidity. A very pleasant bitter
