The brewery: "Hafod is an
independent, family run brewery in Mold producing an array of
beautifully balanced, drinkable beers.....From humble beginnings in
2011, brewing 1 barrel at a time in the Hafod Road workshop, we opened
our pocket battleship 17-barrel headquarters on Gas Lane, packed full of
bespoke brewkit innovation, in 2015."
The beer: " In the summer of 2022, brewer Phill was thinking about our next seasonal cask beer. After visiting relatives down in the Big Smoke he decided to brew an old school London style pale ale......Phill has tweaked our Welsh water to match the water profile in London, then used a trio of British hops to give gentle fruit & spice notes to the beer. For a twist on the traditional style we have used Belgian yeast rather than the traditional English ale yeast which adds distinctive fruity, banana and clove aromas to the finished beer....London Pale was so popular in cask last year we decided to add it into our bottled beer range for 2023.
Enjoyed this the most of the three Hafod beers my friend was kind enough to procure, a very pleasant ale as the weather finally starts to warm up.
