Tasting Notes: Red Dragon

red dragonBrewery: Breconshire
Location: Powys, Wales
ABV: 4.7%
Version: 500ml bottle

Next up from the Breconshire Brewery is a Welsh take on an Irish red ale, and an admirable job they make of it too. The hoppy bitter bite is well tempered by the biscuity malt content, but I thought it wasn’t quite as smooth as the brewery’s description made out. After a short time though, it all settles down to an easy drinking ale with a nicely balanced, slightly dry aftertaste.
