Pint pulled at The Boar’s Head in Brecon (Brecon Beacons NP, Wales) and the brewery’s tap. Poured creamy, settling to a clear amber with a perfect creamy white head. A pleasant flowery aroma. Good bitterness in the mouthfeel with a lingering tanginess and a dried fruit hoppiness.

Tasty wee bitter indeed. Aroma gives a little leom, mainly grassy hops, some honey/floural sweetness maybe. Taste is similar and very drinkable.
