Balding, Welsh Drinker of Fine Ales.

Ginger - Marble Beers - 4.6% ABV. B+ and a bit, ginger on the nose, ginger citrus in the body with a lingering ginger bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. All of this and it’s on cask too. Had a taster and decided to go for the Pint and I’m glad I did too #mb06

Punk IPA - BrewDog - 5.2% ABV. B++ and a touch. It’s still got it and in one of those glasses I didn’t think existed. Prost #ale #beer #bier

3.6/5. I could probably stay all day in The Posset Cup but they would need and better beers. However, this Punk works #mb06

Gold - Butcombe - 4.4% ABV. B+, maybe slightly on the long side. Malty sweetness with a gentle bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3/5. Nicely presented in a mostly clean glass. Relaxing in the Posset Cup in Portishead #mb06. Quality Beanoing.

Cosmic Pale Ale - Tiny Rebel / Greene King - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, maybe with a hint of fruitiness as it warms up? #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. The FA Cup is now up and working on the TV. Ironic that it’s easier to get Tiny Rebel in Portishead than Newport #mb06

Love Monkey - Glastonbury Ales - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, hoppy, malty with a hint of sweet jam. Gentle earthy bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. They were trying to get the FA Cup on the TV but I think they have given up. Streaming on personal devices is the way forward.

Enigma - Portishead Brewing Co - 5.0% ABV. B+ wall to wall Enigma hops. Fruity, malty with a strong long bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. First time I have Portishead Brewing from a can and it is much cheaper, so that is my plan for the future #mb06

Sting Apricot - Portishead Bewing Co - 3.1% ABV. B+, light, fruity, apricot and gently sour. Turning into Sessionable Saturday #ale #beer #bier

3/5. At The Port Bar, Portishead where they have new SSIDs. I think it’s Summer on the English side of The Severn.

Rosie’s Pig Tropical Cloudy Cider - Weston’s - 4.0% ABV. B++, fruity base with hints of pineapple following on and lingering vanilla finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. What a great, sessionable summer drink. Lots of different hints of fruitiness and nicely balanced with the vanilla #mb06

Chili Ginger - Cockeyed Cider - 4.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, taster as there is a Spoons Cider and Perry Fest on. Pleasing Ginger then a warming Chili finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. Beanoing in The Posset Cup in Portishead for Bank Holiday #mb06

Rhymney Dark - Rhymney Brewery - 4.0% ABV. B+ and a touch, malty, fruity, chocolatey with a gentle, lingering bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.1/5. Traditional but really rather good. Now it’s a question of whether I will catch the next bus? Hard life Beanoing.

Camden Stout - Camden Brewery - 4.0% ABV. B+ and a bit. On Keg, smooth, malty, chocolatey, burnt notes and a long bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. No longer craft but this is very drinkable and the glass with the eyes is first class. May just stay here.

Hobby Horse - Rhymney Brewery - 3.8% ABV. B+ and a touch. I sure it will be called brown twiggy juice but I like it #ale #beer #bier

3.1/5. An old school and traditional ale in the relatively new Rhymney Brewery Bar in Blackwood. FTTC WiFi.

Sea Fury - Sharps - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, malty and rich with nice creamy head. Solid brew #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. First time in Blackwood since 2014 and boy does time pass quickly. The Sirhowy has expanded sideways since I was last here.

Blood Orange, Apricot and Lime Smoothie Sour - New Bristol Brewery / Yonder Brewing - 6.0% ABV. B++, Summery, fruity and tropical with a gentle sour edge. Solid #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. Collab Saturday in Weird Dad’s Taproom #Newport 🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Fine Ale from across the bridge.

Mine’s a Dark - Weird Dad - 3.5% ABV. B++, finally a Mild in May and it’s a Corker. Malty, with a touch of fruity and very tingly on the tongue #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. Finally a Mild in May and it’s awesome. Black Pudding Scotch Eggs on sale here and they are calling me. I wonder?

Goldie Looking Beer - Weird Dad’s - 4.6% ABV. B+ and a bit. Malty, fruity, hoppy and bitter. Cooling with an earthy, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. Rather hot out, cool and refreshing in Weird Dad’s. Re the pint, if you know, you know 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍻

Blŵbri - Bragdy Twt Lol - 4.6% ABV. B+ and a bit, hoppy, fruity and a little malty sweetness. Gentle and refreshing. Works with the weather #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. The Mamas and the Papas on the jukebox and Sky Sports on the TV. Twt lol on my palate and the sun is shining. Quality Beanoing.

Stella Artois Unfiltered - AB InBev - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit. Says Belgium on the front but brewed in the UK maybe Magor? Rather good #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. Fruity, hoppy and bready with a pleasing dry fruity finish. Really sort of old school. Well worth a punt?

Citra - Oakham Ales - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, the trouble with cask ales is that they go over quickly. Still drinkable but been better #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. However, the CAMRA 50p voucher was deployed. So you win some, you lose some. Springlike in Newport 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍻

Lol! - Bragdy Twt Lol - 4.4% ABV. B++, light, refreshing, hoppy, tropical with a gentle fruity bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. A perfect start to #Lolffest15 at @bragdytwtlol On cask so I’m good with CAMRA. 5G from @ThreeUK too
