500ml bottle from a shop in Pembrokeshire, shared with Mike. Pours deep dark brown with beige head. Mirage-like caramel choc aroma. Rather fizzy mouthfeel with little chocolate coming through. Mild grains but a bit thin and watery. Not the best I’ve had from this brewery.

Bottle courtesy of Geraint and Helen, consumed at home 17th September 2015. Thanks you two! Dark gold bit cloudy with a white head, bitterness builds and it’s a tangy fruity effort, busy carbonation, slow steady continual eruption out of the bottle on the pour. Yeasty sediment in mouth. It’s ok, but benefited from me pouring a little Brewdog DPC in to the last 1/4 to hop it up a little. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov11 2.9

500ml bottle conditioned: BBE Jan 16. Poured at home into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 12th Aug 15. Could only get half the beer out of the bottle, so big was the head and the beer so lively. Hazy dull amber/orange body, the huge head off-white and alive! Yeasty, almost home brew in aroma with malts pushing the hops into a distant second place scent wise. The taste more an equal blend, Pale malts and semi-bittering hops marry together quite well and give a good overall feel to the flavouring. Another Welsh beer and brewery to my collection, this offering was more OK than live changing or interesting.

500ml bottle from Fire & Ice, Narberth. Pours amber with slight haze and a bubbly white head. Light malty aroma. Taste is thin with light hops, stale water and an off-putting bitter finish. Not the best Pen Lon I’ve tried.

500ml bottle from Fire & Ice, Narberth. Pours cloudy orange / copper with a proud white head. Vague malt aroma. Taste is rather weak and a touch watery with a mirage-like maltiness. Pleasant enough but not a lot going on really. Which at 3.0% was probably to be expected.

500ml bottle from Coed Y Dinas, Welshpool. Very drinkable, well balanced ale with some floral hops and a touch of caramel. Likin these Pen Lon beers so far.

500ml bottle from Coed Y Dinas. Light, sessionable ale with a nice balanced taste, a touch of dandelion in there with a deliciously soothing and subtle honey aftertaste. Not bad at all, would have again.
