Formerly known as Wye Valley Bitter, this amber-coloured wonder continues to be a cornerstone of our real ale range, and is a mouthwatering example of a cask-conditioned beer.
Brewed using Maris Otter and Crystal malts together with locally grown Target and Goldings hops, Pyoneer has a delicate hoppy aroma leading on to a full malty flavour and ending in a crisp, clean bitter finish.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Amber color, small beige head. Light nutty aroma. Light caramel, some woody hops. Decent body for 3.7% beer. Simple and uninspiring. A bit too sweet for being even a session beer.

Cask@GBBF2009. Ambery golden colour, not much head. Aroma is hops, grass, wood and mildly fruity. All this in a very mild/weak way. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather mellow and bland.

Cask conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 22/5/07. Decent session bitter. Copper coloured with a slight white head. A touch of hoppy aroma followed by some fruity malt and a decent dry finish. Good.

Cask, handpump at The Bell, Leominster. Copper in colour with a small white head, a good session beer if a smidgen too sweet, but not as nice as the Wye Valley HPA that I also tried.

Cask handpull Ship & Mitre Liverpool. Copper, thin off white head. Some citrus aromas. Bit watery in mouth. Some lemon/lime and hop on the end. Just a little indistinct that’s all. Not much of anything.

[Cask] A nutty brown (brown-orange) beer with a bubbly fine head. The nose is light with a hoppy bitter note. The flavor is cask flat perfumated malty note with an OK bitterness running across the tongue. Is it the hop or the yeast that makes it taste artificial? A boring bitter. The artificial flavor kills it.

[Hand pumped] Amber color. Poor aroma. Nice, fresh taste in the front; too watery later. Bitter final, but maybe too long hop infusion.
