Family gathering at my place on Saturday 23rd November 2024, shared a few beers with Andy (AndyTF2), this being one of them. 500ml bottle from Stan's: BBE March 2025. I like Welsh Bitter's, almost always malty and decent colour, this slotted right in. Clean amber in colour, and semi-sweet throughout, nice!

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 8
Cask at Liverpool Arms, Conwy. Aroma has definite elderflower. Clear copper gold. Thin, very thin, translucent white head. Medium bitter with a sour edge. Floral. Hoppy. Underlying sweetness and malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasant if not overly exciting. Actually, it's kinds developing shandy traits.
