872: Purple Moose | Calon Lan

The brewery: “Y Bragdy Mws Piws / The Purple Moose Brewery is a '40-Barrel' micro-brewery based in the historic harbour town of Porthmadog, North Wales, close to the mountains of Snowdonia. Brewing commenced on 14th June 2005 with a one-off special pale ale at 3.5% called "No.1".

The beer: "Calon Lân is an amber coloured best bitter brewed with water from the hills of Snowdonia. 4.0% ABV......Crystal malt & roasted barley, combined with aromatic U.S. hops, creates a smooth, full bodied, malty beer with a pleasant fruity hop finish."

Enjoyed this, those pesky hops were kept largely in check. A nice combination of flavours.
