The lable describes it as a golden ale, that style seems not to exist here hence I added the listing at what I believe is the closest style English Bitter. I'd like to be clear though, this beer is obviously through and through Welsh, just when adding the listing English Bitter was the closest category available.
L- It's a good looking pint, bright rich golden and clear. Pours with 5mm fine-bubble white head, with some ongoing rising carbonation. ps. The head holds very well.
S- Light grainy breadiness.
T- Listing it as a Bitter may not be off the mark, in my view it fits that categorisation well. It's pretty hoppy leaving a dry wave across the tongue and mouth in the finish and swallow. It tastes 'trad' to me.
F- Refreshing, on the whole it packs a good proposition onto a modest 4.0% foundation.
O- Given to me as a gift. I looked at the lable and read 'Golden Ale 4.0%' and my expectations were moderate. But there is nothing I note out of place or balance. No weird new youthful fruit-cocktail elements. Great carbonation (10mins in, 1/2pt gone and there's still a 3mm head+rising CO2). It's well balanced and very sessionable.
Bought for me from Wally's Beer Shop in central Cardiff. 500ml bottle £2.95 BBE: Sep-2020
p.s. The outline drawing on the lable of an area of land had me confused = it reminded me of the tip of Cornwall. In fact it is the peninsular in north Wales on which the brewery is located, north of Cardigan Bay and south of Anglesea Island.
