In 2013 they decided to relocate and chose a place down the road from me in Talbot Green. Before our trip in May to Cornwall I'd been down to their new site to the brewery shop and bought a case of their Pale Ale which went down very well with my friends and I.
Soon after their beers appeared in the local Spar shop, and a local Marstons pub had been recently having them on as guest beers too.
Cwrw Gorslas, Cwrw means beer, and Gorslas is a village located in Carmarthenshire near to their previous location.
Its a bitter, 4%, amber gold in colour, an aroma of fruit and malts. Frothy head at first, good lacing on the glass. Dry, good spicey hops and toffee, with a good body its well balanced and has a nice bitter end.
For some reason I always believed Kite to be somewhat bland, golden beer and then recently I tried their Thunderbird and Bull Ring Porter and was blown away. I'm really impressed with their stuff, not sure if they've changed or if I mistook them for someone else but glad I gave them a second go when I did.
ReplyDeleteHad a Thunderbird today actually and it was certainly juicier and hoppier than i remember. Great lunchtime pint!
