Cardiff Mini-break Beer#40. Extremely dark amber-red in in colour. Certainly not feeling its strength, there's some decent coffee roasted malts found within.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#41. Has a dry level of coffee in both aroma and taste, but it's stated. This lingers too in aftertaste.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#39. Extremely dark amber-red in colour. Its roasted character is very good in aroma. It's lost somewhat in a too easy carbonated taste, although it remains tasty nevertheless with sweetish notes in a similar respect. A re-rate as I've previously had a cask version.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#38. Very mildly hazed dark amber-red, with a bit more of a red ale taste than mild for me given its prominent sweetness. This also elevates the ales taste above its low mild strength, so it doesn't feel thin or weak at all. Has a small sticky-sweet texture.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#37. Golden-red in colour, not a colour I usually describe. It's a very sessionable red too, mildly sweet in its hop balance with a bit of carbonation impacting too.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#36. A second night of tray beers at Mad Dog starting on the lightest first, a marmalade session IPA. A very light jam-esque sweetness exemplies this and it's enough to help confirm its name. It's a pretty decent session ale even if you extract its name... probably in the golden ale sphere of beers too.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#24. Hopped, what was chalked up as a brown ale, but to me is more suited as an American Red, which is glowing clear dark-amber in colour. There's some sugars involved in a slightly darker, or perhaps just grittier maltiness, although its hoppy influence is still dominant for me here. Regardless, it's sweet and good fun drinking.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#23. My fifth at Mad Dog, brewed on site, a golden wheat ale. The banana aroma and flavour has been achieved in this one, and as it's the least carbonation-influenced so far, it allows a bit more flavour through. That said, there's certainly more flavoursome available than this. It has a very drinkable texture though.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#22. Tray two begins. Very hazy, it looks like mango juice, smells like mango juice, and tastes like alcohol mango juice as its strength is noticeable, feeling citrus-spiced for it.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#21. Last of the first tray, a hazy golden-amber coloured one. There's lots of tropical notes coupled with pine in aroma, the latter takes over in a sugary taste that's very positive.
