Grey Trees Brewery
Microbrewery
in Aberdare,
Rhondda Cynon Taff,
Wales 🏴
Associated Venue: National Tap
Established in 2011
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.

Straw and some bitter herbal thing. Odd, like some Jagermeister spilled in here. But just a bit. Golden pour with decent head. Crisp finish. Tap at Tiny Rebel Cardiff.

1/2 cask pint @ Craft Beer co, Covent Garden. Pas spécialement impressionné par les verres sales qui sont utilisés.
Pâle, col fin crémeux.
Arôme sur un bouquet frais houblonné délicat aromatique sur de légers agrumes et fleuri avec un malté moyen en rétro-nasal.
Palais est plaisant malté sur une base pâle qui donne un catactère léger cara tout au long ainsi qu'une bonne rondeur (pêut-être aussi aidée par le cask), le tout est agrémenté par l'apport du houblon Centennial qui donne une amertume subtile sur un herbacé sec, fleuri voire un rappel de jasmin.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-23, delt med Steven: klar kopbber gylden med kort skum. Fin citrusprofil og god maltsmak. Fin bitterhet men litt underkarbonert. Hva en American pale ale har med Afghanistan å gjøre ga den imidlertid ikke noe svar på...
