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.

Can @ Twelve Tellers, Preston. Amber with a head and a noticeable strength to a mainly hoppy-soapy brew with some fruity notes.

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!

Handpull cask at the Corn Exchange (JDW), Leicester. Light brown and clear with a foamy off-white head. Woody and slightly spicy aroma - I'm getting notes of sarsaparilla- with caramel closing out the till. Sweet taste with big notes of toffee turning incredibly bitter. Lovely astringency I the finish. Surprisingly nice.

Keg at the Bucks Country Show at Penn House. Deep amber with an off-white head. A little blackberry and sweet lemon, but mainly earthy malt with a satisfying body and a bitterish finish. A better than average bitter this, quite enjoyed it.

500ml bottle from Co-Op, Llangollen. Pours a clear gold, small white froth atop. Aroma is thin, weedy, grassy malt. Thin and dry to taste.. very economically produced.. tastes 79p B&M-esque.. not great.. which is a shame as Glamorgan are usually alright.

500ml bottle from Co-Op Llangollen. Drunk watching Manic Street Preachers at Glastonbury 2023 on the Telly. Pours a clear gold, thin white head. Aroma of corny grain. Taste bears a moderate to low fruity malt sweetness, additional corn, dry bitter close. Feels a bit substandard, as if a novelty football beer must - by law - be substandard. Shame.
