Cardiff Mini-break Beer#12. Dark clear amber coloured keg pour, and nice to find a Brains I've not had before! Crisp substitutes a little for the smoothness in its title, but it does have some of this. A hoppy ale in the main, its crispness once again helps mask a low strength, but it doesn't feel thin, weakish maybe. After quite a lot of different beers today this one suits me right now. Mild bitter finish.

draught at the Royal British Foreign Legion, Hay-on-Wye. Clear yellow colour with a golden glow, small head. Very light-bodied, slightly malty and hoppy with dusty hints. No idea ahy they call it IPA, this is as far away from a real IPA as can be. Nevertheless, a refreshing light beer.
