Aberystwyth, a different kind of rain and Pen-Lon Ewes Frolic

Location:  Aberystwyth Pier

Moodmusic: The world keeps turning, and life goes on and on, in it's own season

Today's soundbites and memories
Amazing patterns, great sounds and a very special kind of rain! Starlings doing their stuff, takes me right back to my childhood watching the same thing on winters evenings around Templemeads Station.  Weird to think these little, once plentiful birds, are red-listed as 'threatened'.



Drinks

1. Pen-Lon Ewes Frolic (5.2%)
Reactions
Emotional:  Aaaahhhh brilliant after a long and taxing day
Critical: light and easy to drink.  Not overly flavoured, gold, clean and a bit underpowered on the hoppy side.  A bit gassy too. Screams quality though.

and at little earlier at  Plas Y Brenin

2. Bragdy Nant, PYB Bootliquor (3.8%)
Reactions
Emotional: OK, not bad
Critical: Bready, straw'ish, toasted caramel, sweetish malt and some sort of woodiness. Interesting beer.  Not bad at all.  Not too sweet.

3. Bragdy Nant, PYB Dark Winter (5%)
Reactions
Emotional: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
Critical: This was served sooooooooooo cold it was hard to catch all the flavours, but I warrant that there is some chocolate in the background.  The draught is smooth and velvety without being too heavy.  Very nice dark beer. Not really a porter or a mild though.
