A hazy, light yellow beer, a head is big and white. Aroma has biscuits, lemon, some green herbs. Taste has biscuity maltyness, herbs, low citrus, quite dry. Light+ bodied, medium carbonation. Quite herbal, would be better with more fruits. Refreshning and good beer, anyway.

500ml bottle conditioned: BBE Apr 2018. Poured into an Abbot Ale badged glass tankard at home on 3rd Aug 2017. Bought from Moonshine & Fuggles, Ironbridge. Deep tanned top, black body. Malt laden nose and taste, very malty in fact; dark chocolate and black coffee esters and flavours throughout. Easy drinking Stout with a basic but strong roasted feel to it’s make up.

500ml bottle from Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold, large rocky white head. Aroma of autumnal malts, spelt. Taste bears Monty’s didtinctive cereal malt character, with a light hop bitterness. Good refeshing golden ale.

Bottle conditioned 500ml: BBE July 2017. Drank on Election night of 8th June 2017. Slight haze to the golden pour, white topping. Drank while eating a small Rack of Lamb, thought the Welsh connection might work, and it did. Aroma had grainy malts and not much else, the taste drier than the aroma intimated and more bitter. Decent.
