Description
The Anstee family began supplying the hospitality trade in South Wales with beers, wines and spirits in the early 90’s. The knowledge and community ties established during this time gave us a real desire to see quality Welsh beer back on local bars. So much so we thought we’d brew some ourselves, starting out as the Kite Brewery in 2011. In 2015 and with our beers now winning awards and wider recognition we decided a new name was in order.

500ml bottle into a UK pint sleeve at home on 29th Sep 2016. Light golden with a full white head that fell away swiftly into a weak wispy covering. Slight hop lead in the aroma and taste, mild citrus notes throughout with a semi-bitter nature to the whole brew. Well carbonated and lively, even if the head did a runner early.

Cask at the Haymarket. Pours clear amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of red fruit and biscuit. Taste is more of the same, red berry cheesecake, the unbaked variety. Creamy texture, light astringent finish.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - amber red with a nice fluffy head. Nose - a bit elusive but there’s a hint of redcurrant. Taste - redcurrants confirmed and some biscuit and caramel follows on. Light astringent note from the malt. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish. It’s a touch astringent though. Overall - almost very good. Perhaps just a touch of fruity hops would’ve moved it sufficiently away from that malt astringency.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - hazy golden with a nice lacy head. Nose - a little elusive but there’s something lemony in there. Taste - loads of orange and there’s a lemon pith finish. Custard and biscuits lingering. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - yeah very thirst quenching. Would’ve put this under Golden Ale style.
