Dark ale with a relatively bitter taste, some dark fruit character and a hint of coffee grounds apparent, pours a deep mahogany brown with a frothy beige head, and not a great deal going on the aroma.

Bottle from Vinomondo, Conwy. Golden-amber with an extremely thin head. Has a dense tasting hoppy-fruitiness, with plenty of the latter. Orange is prevalent amongst some other fruits developing into a gritty malty aftertaste, but still fused with fruit. Has orange in its aroma.

500ml bottle found in Portmeirion, way up in Wales. Not sure if it’s available only in town or elsewhere. Has a yellow-orange body with minimal carbonation and also okay head. Aroma of soft hay funk. Flavour is a bitter and tinny affair with lots of hops and wheat character but no malt. Dry finish. Crisp and drinkable and that’s about it.
