Description
The Celt Experience came into being back in 2007 when the brewery based in the Pontygwindy Industrial Estate, Caerphilly was opened. Prior to this, Tim Newman (Managing Director) was brewing beers in his Fathers garage The Celt Experience quickly grew to the point of exporting beers to over 20 countries around the world.

In May 2016, the sudden news broke that The Celt Experience would be ceasing production but would keep the brand going. In June 2016, Evan Evans stepped in to pick up the brand. Celt branded beers are now brewed at the Evan Evans Llandeilo brewery.

This listing therefore includes beers currently brewed at Evan Evans and also at the original Celt experience brewery located in Caerphilly.

Bottle. Copper colored with a nice head. Aroma is a tad weak with mostly malt. Taste is surprisingly bitter. Needs more balance.

Metallic and quite nutty with some bitter UK hops upfront. Quite nutty finish, lingers...... Medium bitterness, would be a great session ale. I agree with the bottle description that this is a brown ale, not a golden.

Lots of minerals, biscuity malts, next to no hops. Malts get sweeter as it goes down, cloying honey notes. Very uninspiring and incredibly boring. Mediocre.
