I decided to get in a couple of Welsh beers, the Rhymney Brewery with its newly designed label Bitter, and from the Celt Experience their Cryf, an ESB style beer.
The Rhymney was 4.5% and poured a dark copper brown, with very little aroma. Its mouth feel was thin, it was more malt than anything else, a moderate bite from hops, but a very drinkable session beer. It hides the abv well, and probably a lot better on cask that should give the body it needs.

I have generally found the Celt Experience bottled beers pretty good, this one is called Cryf and is 5.2%, and both these bottles are found in Tesco's in South Wales usually.
Like those other excellent Welsh brewers Otley they have a good distinct branding too.
Light golden brown, rich fruit aroma, its flavour punches with seville orange like a heavily sugared marmalade.
A medium body, a tickle of spice, fruity, nice 5/10 on the bitterness.
I've bought a few more of these recently, they went down very well while I watched others exert themselves in London 2012!!!
