Nutty biscuit body meets orange, citrus with a touch of delicate spice. At the eye of the storm, in the depth of legend 1400. Owain GlynDwr Welsh ruler, conquering spirit. His legend forever remains.

[Suggested Glassware: Nonic Pint]
The pour was a lightly cloudy medium chestnut brown with an average (1-2 fingers) off white frothy head that reduced down to a puddled film and large collar with good sticky spotty lacing.
The aroma was moderately malty with a biscuit malt, light floral hops and a sweet doughy yeast along with notes of caramel, citrus (orange and tangerine) and a mild fruity ester (raisons and figs).
The taste was good and malty with a moderate caramel sweetness which was present throughout, and then progressed with a bit of fruitiness along with a mild hop presence and a good bitter citrus peel ending. The flavor lasted an average time proceeding the swallow, with a sweet bitter citrusy taste lingering on the taste buds for a bit longer.
Mouthfeel was a few steps above light in body with a watery yet dry texture and a very soft carbonation.
Overall I really enjoyed drinking this brew, it possessed just the right balance of sweet malts and bitter hops...

Coming in a 500ml brown bottle, BB 13/05/2015, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: pours a pale copper colour with very nice red hues, coming with fine and not fierce carbonation and a thin off-white head.
S: the aroma gives plentiful grapey fruity notes as well as almost Saaz+Styrian Goldings-like, grassy, minty, earthy and slightly spicy hops, against a backbone of toasted and nutty malts with a mixed, sour-sweet edge overall.
T: on the palate, the bitter-sweet nutty malts, lightly acidic yeastiness and aromatic earthy hops develop harmoniously together, leaving flavours of spices and toasted malts to linger with berry-ish, grapey and slightly orangey fruit esters and an intensifying flow of earthy hop bitterness.
M&O: lightly carbonated, medium-bodied, this copper-ish Bitter has a very good depth of bitterness, a rounded attenuation, and a well-composed, fruity profile all in all. Not bad at all!

It has a reddish brown color, beautiful, english foam.
Malty smell, with good touches of roasted hazelnut.
Hazelnut in the taste too, along with grassy and earthly hop.
Not bad at all.
A good bitter finish in the aftertaste, grassy and earthly, almost root.

Poured from 500mL bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: medium orange-brown hue with a moderate haze and a relatively strong effervescence. Head is a finger of frothy tan foam. Pretty attractive.
Smell: lightly spiced aroma; sweet malt with notes of orange, vanilla, and something floral -- chamomile, perhaps. Earthy and calming.
Taste: earthy, bready, toasty malt, with more of that floral character. There's something here which is smoky; almost like a lapsang souchong tea; I kind of like that aspect. An interesting brew.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decently creamy feel. Not bad.
Overall: this is kind of a bizarre beer, but I like its dank, earthy, smoky feel.
