Actually 5%. My ale of choice in the Queens Vaults, Cardiff. Nice bitter, golden and hoppy
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Gold with a white head. Pear fruit aroma gave way to treacly slightly sweaty malt. Taste was malty and sweet. Rather doughy flavour intruded. Very gassy beer lacking a satisfactory finish. To be honest I wasn’t too keen.
