Description
Mantle Brewery started brewing on its 10 Barrel brew plant in August 2013. The first ever cask out of the cold room, a cask of Cwrw Teifi went straight to the Eagle Inn in Cardigan on September 1st 2013, our nearest pub. T’was a day to remember.

The brewery was founded by Ian & Domi Kimber, and together with Owen, Adam, Aled & Ian B, we brew great beer. The same care and attention goes into each and every brew, each and every step in the process, each and every cask, keg and bottle.

At GBBF. Thick, snow white head over a hazy ’old gold’ coloured beer. Fruity aroma, apple, pear, butter, some white bread, hint of grass; no flaws and quite elegant. Light taste as usual for the style, subdued but refreshing fruitiness, smooth and lean mouthfeel, biscuity malt sweetness, light grassy hop bitterishness in the finish. Quenching but stereotypical golden ale, needs more personality to distinguish itself.

Cask @ The Cliff Hotel & Spa, Cardigan. Pours golden amber. Vague sourish aroma, but could be the glass. Floral hops, mildly sweet malts. Light and easy-going.

Cask @ The Cliff Hotel & Spa, Cardigan. A well earned two day break I must say, and nice to see something other than Doom Bar on handpull (there was Doom Bar as well). Nutty, malty, smooth bitter. Pleasant.
