Labelled as Cwrw MĂȘl Honey Fayre.

Pours slightly hazy golden with nice and foamy head that slowly dissipates to thin white layer, some patches of lacing. Aroma is dominated by mild and sweetish honey; some malty undertones present.

Taste is not as good as aroma - it is mild and slightly sweet malt with notes of honey, lemon, seemed even a bit astringent; drying finish. Mouthfeel is light with moderate/high carbonation.

Not a bad one in general, but could not find too much of honey in it.

Some info from the Marks & Spencer press release:

"Welsh Honey Bitter is made using 100% Welsh honey sourced from Ceredigion, South Wales, creating a delicate beer with sweet honey aromas and a clean, dry finish. The unique blend of pale malts used to brew this particular bitter gives the brew a smooth texture with a light, fresh taste."
