bottle, Tesco Pont-y-pŵl. Deep dark gold colour, nearly amber with a small touch of foam on top. Hoppy nose. Medium-bodied, solid malty background with lots of perfumy-floral hop flavours and hints of lemon zest and orange. A good summer beer.

Finally Welsh Beer here in the States - I wonder if it’s because of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival?!? Deep dark brown amber tinted colour with some haziness and a thinnish tan head - nice! Aroma of bitter nuts, apples, malt, yeast and a light bit of hops. Med-bodied; Mild malty flavour with some apple tastes tucked in with a little yeast and caramel and some mild figs too. Aftertaste shows some bitterness, but relatively mild along with the taste. Overall, a fairly typical bitter, with perhaps a bit more carbonation, more apple tastes and some mild nuts - decent, but I’m happier to have my first beer from Swansea! I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits in Washington, DC on 25-July-2009, sampled four days later at home here.

Pours amber into an English pint. Offwhite micro head with good retention leaves spotted sheets as it recedes to coat surface. Sweet pit fruit aromas. Full and bready with caramel and raisins upfront, turning slightly metallic toward the bitter hop finish. Nice flavor for the abv.
