Description
Welsh Craft Beer brewed on Anglesey.

Mona n. (Latin) means Ynys Môn (Welsh) or Anglesey (English) – and this is where we are….. The island is known as Môn, Mam Cymru (Môn, the Mother of Wales) the breadbasket of Wales, so we thought….. why not add some great beers to the mix?

Whilst the island’s first recorded name shapes our identity and our Welsh heritage influences us, we take our inspiration from across the globe, and we want to share a piece of Anglesey with the world.

Our craft brewery was established in 2018 by seven likeminded friends with a common interest in, amongst other things, good beer…. All our beer is hand-made in small batches, to ensure quality and consistency and we like to behave in a sustainable way.

Panda at home things to Shig, 29/09/20. Almost clear golden with a decent white cap that dissipates edgeward. Nose is grass, melon, dusty hops, faint vanilla. Taste comprises grass, toasted grains, hint of orange, light minerality. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with dusty hop bitterness. So so affair ... can't quite pull out of second gear.

440ml can from Bottle & Barrel, Aberystwyth. Unclear mahogany amber, frothy off white foam atop. Aroma is gently sweet leafy marmalade and citrus. Continues to taste with a curious smokiness, moderate to light carbonation, gently sweet hop presence, medium bodied. Interesting to use these Amber malts with these hops. Decent overall.

Can shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours surprisingly clear gold with a thick white head. Aromas of dough, light spice, peppery. Taste is more of the same. Can't find the orange peel, but decent enough. Slightly thin finish.
