Tasting Notes: Rambler's Ruin

ramblers ruinBrewery: Breconshire
Location: Powys, Wales
ABV: 5%
Version: 500ml bottle

“Traditional ales brewed in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, using water drawn from under the surrounding hills and only the freshest and best of UK grown malt and hops” is how the Breconshire Brewery describes what they do, and this CAMRA gold medal award winning ale is one of several from their range I’ve sampled recently.

This is a very nicely balanced ale, with the malt and hops combined perfectly to give a light chocolate, caramel flavour with a pleasant bitter zing. Highly drinkable and aptly named.

    That one sounds extremely pleasant. Where did you get it from, mate?

    Another one from The Vineyard, although I haven’t seen it again the last couple of times I’ve been in. Check you local independent beer emporium, if you have such a thing.

    You know, I keep thinking we must have such a thing, somewhere in a city the size of Manchester, but I’ll be darned if I can actually find one. Closest I know of is a branch of Oddbins in the city centre, and its range wasn’t exactly stellar last time I was in.
