Description
Tiny Rebel was founded in Newport in 2012 by brothers-in-law Bradley Cummings and Gareth Williams. Williams had learned to homebrew with his grandfather, and introduced his brother-in-law to the hobby. After brewing in Cumming's father's garage for a number of years, the pair decided to make their hobby their profession. They rented an industrial unit in the Maesglas area of the city.

The company opened their £2.6million brewery and bar in Rogerstone on 1 July 2017.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy amber with a thick white head. The aroma is strong hops with citrus notes. The flavour is medium to strong bitter, with some slightly sour grapefruit notes and a hint of pepper and dry hops on the palate. The bitterness lingers for quite a while in the aftertaste. A superb pale ale and extremely refreshing.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a dark mahogany colour with a very slight reddish hue. The tan head was quite frothy initially, but didn’t last for long. The aroma was unsurprisingly mainly of chocolate! When I bought this bottle, I must admit I was a little worried by the label, as it gave the impression that this beer was a chocolate lovers dream, but thankfully the chocolate was there in the flavour, but it wasn’t dominant in any way. I’ve had chocolate beers in Belgium before and they are uber sickly. This was perfect. The dry hoppy pepperness went well with subtle notes from the chocolate to deliver a superb and very tasty ale. Another classic from Wales!

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a slightly hazy amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is typical of a DIPA with a rich, uber hoppy nasal experience! The flavour is something of an extension of the aroma, with the American hops dominating the rich oaky flavour and with that lovely gorgeous dry spicy pepperness on the palate. There’s no fruit. It was murdered by the hops! This really is a super DIPA. Shame it’s only a special.

Cask at the Catford Bridge Tavern. Cheers to Reuben for the share. Red/amber pour with a white head. Quite an earthy nose. Redcurrant and fresh herb aroma. Light citrus flavours, a splash of caramel and light spice too. Herby-bitter finish.
