Bottle from Cheers in Mumbles. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - it just smells like a malt bag. Maybe a hint of citrus. Taste - slightly more going on in the taste but not much. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a dry finish. Overall - just too grainy, like the other beers I’ve had by them.

Bottle from Cheers in Mumbles. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - sweet malt and light toffee. Taste - hint of nuts but mainly light toffee and grainy malt. Palate - light bodied, with a light creamy texture and while the palate is light and dry it is for some reason not that refreshing. Overall - very grainy.

Bottle from Tesco, Holyhead [180615]
Golden, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of malted barley, soft yeast, caramel
Taste of caramel malts, malted barley, slightly earhy hops, touch of citrus, fairly malty, soft fruits, grain
Palate - Soft carb, light to medium body, soft sweet. Finish of soft sweet malts
Overall - More malty than expected from the colour. OK for a supermarket beer - found it a bit better than the Cwrw Braf

Bottle from Tesco, Holyhead [170615]
Dark amber, clear, bubbly thin white head
Aroma of caramel notes, barley malt, soft tea notes, fruity sweet caramel
Taste of caramel notes, soft tea, quite malty beer, dab of molasses, brown sugar, hint of dark honey, bit unusual
Palate - Medium body, rather sweet, bit oily, some soft bitterness, rather malty. Finish of sweet caramel, hint of brown bread.
Overall - Quite liked the flavour at first, but after a while found it got over sweet malty
