Wales very kindly sent me a bottle of his YB. Here it is on my kitchen worktop:

And here it is in the glass:

Lovely colour, this one; nice, tightly packed foamy head.

Smells: hoppy. But it would. It's got over 100g in it! Well, it was brewed by WalesAles.

Taste? Funnily enough, not too hoppy at first, but a definite twang of hops after the swallow.

Nice lacing down the glass.

This reminds me of a beer I used to sup years ago: Acorn Barnsley Bitter - which makes sense, it's a Yorkshire Bitter. I've no idea whether they still make it.

This is bloody lovely mun! More flavour than many of today's commercial ales - in a good way. I'd happily buy a pint of this in my pub. I'd happily buy a bottle. This would easily pass for a commercial bitter.

Well done, Wales. BLM <<pink elephant>>

Good Hiss on opening, Lovely Hoppy Smell. Great Colour.
Great Malty Hoppy Taste! :D =D>
The lacing stays to the bottom of the glass. Rhys ( my Son 27yr old Fosters Drinker) said `That`s Bloody Lovely Mun`.
Well done EB, A very nice Pint! =D> =D>
