Felinfoel Best Bitter

Brewed by Felinfoel
Style: Bitter
Llanelli, Dyfed, Wales

Cask Handpump at the Kings Head, Llandudno 01/05/2006 Malt aroma. Copper amber coloured with some sour fruit flavour. Crisp and slightly dry on the palate with a full malt finish.

April 2004. Red copper ale with a cidery and woddy aroma, very earthy. Pleasant taste of caramel apples and light hops. Medium bodied. It was a nice change of pace, after the watery marvels of CH Evans.

On draught at Mahars in Albany, NY. This was one weird beer, and I would have never guessed at "bitter"; it certainly wouldn't get any points for being stylistically correct. However, I liked it quite a bit...caramel/Granny Smith apple nose, dark and syrupy brown, no head. Could be anything...Scottish? Brown Ale? I dunno. Sweet-tart apple flavors, a bit oaky towards the finish, slightly thin, cidery/vinous qualities. I like it, whatever it wants to be called.

Cask Conditioned, at Weatherspoons, Cardiff.
Another one of those best bitters that comes with out the bitter. Faint notes of everything which ultimately failed at its purpose for life. Amber brown colour.

A bright clear ruby beer (perfectly served) that tastes brilliant after a hard days graft, plenty of taste but not too strong so it can be drunk in large quantities to slake a thirst without any ill effects. ( Sampled in theRoyal Oak Inn 50 yds from the Felinfoel Brewery)
