Description

We are Grey Trees, we are an independent brewery based in South Wales, UK. We produce a range of award winning beers and offer both a retail and wholesale trade service. We supply directly to our customers as well as to pubs, bars, and restaurants across the UK.

The name, Grey Trees, comes from the English translation of the village where the brewery was born, Llwydcoed. After a successful first few years, we moved the brewery to a larger premises, breathing new life into an old industrial unit in Aberaman, Aberdare. Although our location changed, everything involved in making the very best crafted ales stayed the same, even the local fresh Welsh water source.

Thuis uit een halve liter fles, mooi simpel etiket. Donker bier, goed bruin schuim. Aroma niet uitbundig, redelijke smaak, geroosterde mout, zacht.

Hazy pale amber colour, tall frothy off-white head, good retention, good lacing. Rather weak aroma, pale malts, grain, overripe apple, leafy hops. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, nice no nonsense bitter.

Keg @ Station. Pours gold, medium white topping. Unfortunately became clear very quickly that this is suffering from quite a serious diacetyl problem, lots of thornton's toffee on the nose, lots of butterscotch to taste. There is some underlying mosaic hop, but generally this is undrinkable. Will have to re-rate a future batch.

Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 14th December 2018. Slightly greenish gold with shallow white foam and spot lacing. Spicy and grassy aromas. Crisply herby and spicy in-mouth with a lush herby hop finish. Smooth mouthfeel and light body, somewhat soft and velvety texture.

Cask @ Salopian, the pub. Pours black thin pale tan cap. Aroma has nice chocolate coated toffee & roast. Taste is light, oily, with good semi sweet chocolate, toffee, soft distant roast, drying close. Good stuff

Half-pint, well kept cask ale at Pen-y-Cae Inn. Decent white head blanketing the glass. Clear golden body. Herbal hops on the nose, pale malty notes. Taste of citric hops and mid-sweet malts. Distant fruit bitterness to the ending. Smooth mouth feel. Fair enough. (Glamorgan, Penycae 02.10.2018).
