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 from Morrisons online. A new Welsh region for me. Pours clear gold, small white head, nice consistent creamy top. Aroma of malts, citrus and honey; seems ok. Taste is dry biscuit malts, lemon and lime citrus notes, some butter. Light bodied, dry but refreshing. Quite nice.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear brown amber with small white head, nice retention. Aroma is sweet malts, biscuit, light earthiness, chocolate. Taste is the same, sweet, biscuity, earthy, some pine, hints of chocolate, moderate grassy bitter bite. Light to medium bodied, fairly smooth. Nice beer, maybe on thing lacking is a fruity element to elevate it.

500ml bottle from Morrisons @ 4.8%. God damn fridge has broke in a heat wave and I'm not into room temperature pales so on to the stouts which probably should be lightly chilled at the moment but still better option. Pours black, small tanned head. Aroma is sweet, light roast and coffee, chocolate, light berries, burnt toffee. Quite nice. Nice balance between rich and sweet with a bitterness running through. A bit too thin maybe as the flavours don't hang around long. Taste includes biscuit, light roast, coffee, chocolate, berry notes from the brambling cross hops. No mention of raisins or oats in the brew so I think its just a plain stout so no idea where they are going with the cake theme. Its nice but a bit thin.
