330ml bottle from Morris sons. Bought because I’ve quite liked some of Brains craft offerings thus far (not all, mind) rather than the influence of whisky here, which I normally cannot stand. Thankfully it doesn’t get too full on ala Innis & Gun, and boasts a fair mouthful of taste that keeps you sipping.

330ml Bottle BBD end of May 2014, poured into tumbler at home 4th Oct 2013. Looked good, nice copper hue to the reddy brown body, medium depthoff-white/white head that hung around for a while. Wasn’t too sure what a ’Welsh Whiskey IPA’ would or should taste like: I was pleasantly surprised. The hops were well hidden in both the smell and taste, with a malty front dominating the proceedings throughout: hints of whisky did appear within the aroma and flavourings, but not enough to put me off the beer (like Innes and Gunn’s tend too). I am not a fan of citrus flavoured hops and although the rear label claims it has ’a fragrant citrus aroma’ I’m pleased to say my nose didn’t notice it . All in all an interesting and different brew that I enjoyed during a random tasting evening with myself!

Bottled. Weak yellow. Lager malt aroma with plentiful honey. A bit of sweet spice, bananas. Taste is a mixed bag: not nice to start with, lovely sweet middle, and a sickly bitter finish and aftertaste. A bit odd. Basically a honey beer with added flavours.

Cask handpull at Old Buttermarket Canterbury Nicholson pub. Gold clear lasting white head. I don’t like these braggerts. Too perfumed and all over the shop with flavours and aromas. Good condition. Not nasty just not my thing.

330ml bottle at home. Caramel nose, not too full on with the hops with whisps of citrus, some shortbread but generally a nice and easy-going IPA.
