Gravity poured half-pint at the 8th Annual Beer Festival at The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon on 25th August 2017. Misty pour, dirty, dishwater brown body, with no head: not a good start! Aroma and taste were both malty with very little hop action to report on. Not overly impressed to be honest. Competing with 31 other beers at their own festival you’d have thought they would have brewed something exciting and interesting instead of this fairly one dimensional bitter.

Cask half-pint, hand pulled in The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon, Wales, where it is brewed, on 22nd Sep 2015. Chatting to the brewer as I drank it. Golden bodied beer with a full white crown. Hop laden, fruity and bitter: too bitter for the wife as it happens. Decent enough and carried a bit of flavour depth throughout. Would have liked to have tried some more of their beers, but this was the only one they had on our visit.

Pigs Ear. Opaque black beer. Light palate. Very odd. Fruity but gluey tang and finishes light and semi dry and with more glue in the aftertaste.
