Cherry Kisses - Vault City - 4.5% ABV. B++, agently sour, well balanced and very sessionable #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. At least here’s a brewery that’s doing very well and is continuing to grow. Tidy brew.

Choo Mean The World To Me - Pretty Decent - 5.0% ABV. B++, hazy, big and hoppy. Fruity, sharp and bitter in the finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. DDH pale with a quality Train Spotter name. Is in production despite what Untappd says.

Press F to pay respects - Pomona Island - 6.5% ABV. B++, thick, hoppy, dank and a little tropical. Dry, bitter, slightly fruity finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. Hazy and thick. Stuffed full of hops. Brewed in Salford. No Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 fans so far. Maybe staying away?

Sirius - DMC Brewery - 4.0% ABV. B++, hard Ginger Beer that really rocks. With Pear and Chai Spice. Lingering warming, spice finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. Rugby 🏉 Saturday in The Project #Caerphilly Currywurst from 13:00. Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 on at 16:40. Still raining.

Tux - Wye Valley Brewery - 4.4% ABV. B+ and a bit. Gentle Blackcurrant but Big Coffee and gentle burnt notes. Semi local #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. I think the rain has stopped. Actually drinking this from a Wye Valley Glass. Friday lunch time vibes.

Bedrock Bitter - Nash Point Brewing - 4.2%
ABV. B+ and a bit. Fuggles and traditional. Well balanced with a slight freshness #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. No relation. Watching the rain from The Pen and Wig #Newport CAMRA Dogs central.

Buzz - Seven Bro7hers - 6.0% ABV. B+, I’m getting Vanilla but there’s no Vanilla in there. Also Malty and Sweet #ale #beer #bier

3/5. Could be so much better. Really rather all over the place but not unpleasant. However, worth a Punt.

Ka Pai - Stewart Brewing - 5.2% ABV. B+ and a bit. Fruity, hoppy and a little tropical. Gentle, lingering sharp, bitter finish. Solid #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. Quality Southern Hemisphere Scottish Brew drunk in Newport, South Wales. Relaxing. Listening to DTNS.

Old Moor Porter - Acorn Brewery - 4.4% ABV. B+ and a bit, rich and full flavoured. Good dose of Chocolate and Burnt Notes. Solid #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. Highly appropriate Ale for the February weather. There’s a lot to be said for daytime drinking especially with good WiFi.

Three Swords - Kirkstall Brewery - 4.5% ABV. B+ and a bit, extremely light with sweet malty base balanced by a citrusy follow on. #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. Despite price rises in other Spoons. This is £1.59 a Pint. May stay here as the cans look good and maybe some wings?

Chasing The Sun - Tenby Brewing - 4.5% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Tropical, sharp with a lingering bitter finish. Ready for Spring #ale #beer #bier

3.4/5. Mowed on to Keg. Keg from Sunny West Wales. Makes me think that Spring is coming. Post snow anyway.
