Breconshire Brewery - Ramblers Ruin (5%)


Taste: Satisfyingly uncomplicated. Tastes traditional and trustworthy - in fact I'm instantly relaxed and I'm being transported away from Cardiff to a rain soaked wooded valley. There's a  slight taste of burnt embers  which gives a happy bitterness. I could drink this all day...

Appearance: I'm hoping not to turn into the man on the label. The ale changes colour in photos mysteriously.

Would you buy 2? No doubt.

Would you buy 4? In the right place at the right time? For sure.

Rating (out of 7): 6 * * * * * * Some may not agree (too simple?!) but I've really enjoyed this ale.

Breconshire Brewery - Red Dragon 4.7%


Taste: There's a taste of malty biscuits. It tastes like it's from a time gone by (in a good way).  It has a over ripe fruit vibe and a slight burnt taste.

Appearance: Brown horse coloured ale. The dragon on the label is fearsome for sure.

Would you buy 2? On a wintery day? Yes.

Would you buy 4? On a wintery day with a plate of fine cheese? Yes please.

Rating (out of 7): * * * * * 5 stars. It's got character and slips down easily.

Breconshire Brewery - 6 (4.4%)


Taste: smells like pickling vinegar. A bit sharp.... Is it off??? Wet cold slate. A touch bland for a Sunday. Pretty smooth though, it'll sort out my heartburn.

Appearance: pleasing. A historic brown. The best thing about the ale, some say.

Would you buy 2? No. Hahaha

Would you buy 4? By mistake. An accident i'd regret.

Rating (out of 7): 3*** better than that one yesterday.
