Taste: Having drunk this in Hay on Wye in draught form, I can confirm that it's the closes thing to a seven star ale we've had, in that it feels infinitely drinkable in it's deliciousness. I'm actually nervous to take a sip... Argh, it tastes almost nothing like its kegged twin. No rich, smooth sweetness. Instead, watery hop fizz that stings the tongue like nettle wine. I smells odd, not bad, but like a hedgerow in the rain. Can they give this the same name in bottle form?
Appearance: Translucent copper silage.
Would you buy 2? Not of the bottled variety, I've been let down so badly, I'm going to cry.
Would you buy 4? I'm actually crying.
Rating (out of 7): 3*** Refreshing but bland ... If you want a six star ale, drink it draught. :'(

This ale is just a tricky beast... Excited to discover it on draft at Brecon Jazz festival, but then it was not the delicious treat like I remember! Butty Bach we need answers...
What were we given at the Three Tuns in Hay on Wye? A Barrel Mix-up?!? Mystery!
ANOTHER return to the Three Tuns in Hay on Wye, proves that Butty Bach is a delicious 6 star ale... but ONLY at the Three Tuns.... What is going on!??!?! http://alovelypintofbrown.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-tuns-broad-street-hay-on-wye.html
Just tucking into a bottle of this mysterious ale. I can confirm that the Three Tuns in Hay is doing something magic to their Butty Bach - it's a 6 starrer all the way when you're in that pub. But from a bottle.... God! The Disappointment is almost too much to bear...
Drank a pint in draught form at the http://www.ymaesbangorarms.co.uk/cy/ - a 4 star at best...
