330ml can from the brewery outlet in Aberdovey (Aberdyfi). Poured into a Batemans UK pint sleeve on 11th July 2025, this was beer number six in a mini-tasting with myself. Red Leicester Cheese and salted biscuits as a side. Looks like a lager, it's a pale blonde, urine golden colour, clean and clear but no head. Biscuity malt nose and initial taste, pea-nut butter coming through too. All calms down a little and it ends up pretty bland compared to the Cheese and Crackers!

330ml can into a plastic beaker (they don't do glass) on the pavement tables outside the Noon Line outlet in Aberdovey (Aberdyfi) on 10th July 2025. Nice looking amber body, off-white crown on top. Malty front to the nose and taste, a proper Welsh Bitter (even if it's actually brewed in Birmingham). Solid malty spine with a dark fruit hop bitterness below the semi-sweet malts.

330ml can into a plastic beaker outside the Noon Line outlet in Aberdovey (Aberdyfi) on 10th July 2025. Light golden body, white crown, fizzy citrus taste, weak and watery, a bit like a lager shandy rather than a Pale Ale. Not great, even in the very warm weather sat in the sun.

33cl can, drank on Aberdovey (Aberdyfi) beach in bright, hot sunshine on 10th July 2025, bought 200 yards away at the little Noon Line Cafe. Clean and clear golden body, white crust. Very pleasant with a tropical fruit front and a semi-sweet overall feel, easy drinking and great with our Pic-Nic on the sand.
