Description
Notes for members:-
Celt Experience and Fire Island beers should be added under those entries.
The Archers entry is for Archers beers brewed on that site up until 2009. Any beers continued to be brewed under the Archers name appear under Evan Evans brewery with an Archers prefix.
The same applies to J Buckley beers (ceased brewing in 1998), who were taken over initially by Brains, then the brand sold on to Evan Evans.
As locations go, we’re incredibly lucky. Based here in Llandeilo in West Wales, we can open the brewery doors wide and look out over the breathtaking Black Mountains. We’re as passionate about the surroundings we brew in as we are about the brewery itself. Whilst our 250-year history of brewing is at our core, we believe strongly in innovation. Evan Evans is a modern, state-of-the-art brewing plant, capable of producing around 3 million pints every year using the finest raw materials and the attention to detail that makes us who we are.

Cask at Normandie, Tenby. Pours a hazy amber with floaters! Aromas of biscuity malts and red fruit. Tastes similar, with a touch of hop bitterness. Good body, good finish, but not well kept.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol, November 2012. Deep amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, malty beer, with some fruit and an earthy edge, before a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Willow Walk, Victoria 2 Nov 11. JDW festivaløl. Mørk gyldenbrun. Veldig lavt skum. Tilstedeværende fruktaroma. Tynn på smak. Litt syrlig og tørr ettersmak.

Cask at the Victoria, Rugby - 12/12/12. Slightly hazed dark golden/amber with a good sized off white head. Excellent lacing follows. Malt forward nose with some fruit tones, pinch of spice, a touch ’dungy’ ! Taste comprises malt, dark fruits, some sugars. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter finish. Ok - but nothing too exciting ’a rates a rate’ kind of affair!

1/3 pint, hand pulled cask at Willow Walk. Clear amber to a naked surface. Modest aroma of malts and fruits. The taste is also malt-fruity leaving a jam-like impression. Smooth bitter ending. Decent bitter, on par with the style (JDWs real-ale festival, London, 02.11.2012).

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white cream head. Leaves and faint berry fruits on the nose. Light sweet flavour, fairly bitter wih dry, crunchy leaves, faint bread, a bit of citric astringency. Light bodies with fine carbonation. Somewhat dry to finish with more bitter, crunchy leaves, wood, faint dry fruits. Nothing special here.
