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.

10/11/2023. Can bought at The Joseph Conrad, Lowestoft. Shared with my Norwich mate Andy on train to Beccles Beer Festival. Pours slightly hazy amber bronze with a small frothy off-white head. Quite an old school, hoppy, piney, citrusy IPA. Liked it.

500ml bottle from Tesco, Aberystwyth. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate to light sweet and bitter, with a smooth, toffee malt, buttery, light citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can. Appearance - amber with a big fluffy white head. Nose - dried orange, cake, a hint of pine and a general muesli thing. Taste - cake, dried orange, caramel and toffee. Palate - medium bodied, creamy sweet middle and a mixture of sweet and dry on the finish. Overall - not quite on style, more of an old style IPA.

Cask poured in the Royal Oak in Saundersfoot. Clear copper-amber with a head. Crisp, smooth tasting mildly bready notes provide a full flavour, with a low bitter finish. Also tried in its bottle version, found in Pembroke Dock.

Cask at Butlers Bell, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with medium sized off-white head. The aroma has fresh apples, citrus and floral hops. In the mouth there’s a slight sweetness to start but this is quickly swamped by bitterness of floral hops (though not overwhelming). It has a juicy texture with autumn fruits, biscuits and a hint of ginger. Finish is quite dry – it’s OK.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A golden amber pour with a creamy head; berry fruit aroma; tart bilberry taste, then some sour mash; and a disturbing vegetal bitterness to finish. Not too bad!
