Cwrw Mel - Honey Fayre

I must apologise for the lack of posting lately. I have been on holidays and have been too lazy to post! Things are not likely to get better over the next three weeks as I head off to germany for Oktoberfest and Stuttgart for Volksfest, followed by a week in Brighton on work related activities.

Anyhow, this post is in regard to Cwrw Mel, 4.5% abv (or Honey Fayre in English), a braggot produced by the Conwy Brewry in North Wales. For those of you who are long term readers, you will probably be aware that I am a firm believer that honey and beer do not mix, and my beliefs are reinforced by this beer. The beer is insanely dry, its so dry I felt like i needed a glass of water after each sip. I also could not detect any honey flavour, it ferments right out and leaves the beer tasting bland exept for a weak malt taste and a poor level of bittering.

All in all, a very uninspiring beer! I'll stop now before I get too negative!
