Felinfoel ESB has a marvellously robust bitter ale giving lots of good body and a fruity aftertaste. A nice long finish on the palate with hints of toffee apple flavours.

Bottle shared by Grumbo. Aroma is malty, dried fruit, dried, toffee and biscuit. Decent body and sweet on the taste. Bitterness comes through to close.

24/6/2024. Bottle bought at James Pringle Weavers, Llanfairpg. Pours clear bright amber brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is toffee, malt, biscuit, fruits, bread, hint of marzipan. Quite sweet, moderate bitterness, slight metallic edge. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Bittersweet with a slight tart edge to finish. Not bad.

500ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear chestnut brown colour with a short-lived frothy off white head. The aroma is big malt, light fruit, nutty, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a smooth, rich, sweet malt, light floral, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A solid session bitter.

50cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell. An attractive dark copper colour with a loose cream head; caramel aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a sweet caramel taste, and a light woody bitterness leaving a fruity finish. Pleasant enough, but needing more weight.

500ml bottle from my local Aldi; BBE Aug 19. Drank at home on 15th Sep 18. Looked good, deep amber with an off-white head. Malty and fruity nose, taste also malty with a gentle sweetness, decent hop content keeps the sweetness in check to give a slightly bitter finish.
