Stonehouse Cambrian Gold

Stonehouse Cambrian Gold [baron rating 2/5] - 4.2% lively copper ale,earthy nutty smell,mild citrus toffee bitter taste,watery weak finish Baron Orm

Listen to what Chris and the Baron have to say about it.
I've blanked the original score out in the audio review as on reflection we were too generous, the weak finish on this one really lets it down plus the bottle conditioning was way off.

Looking forward to baron rating Stonehouse ales

We recently audio reviewed Stonehouse's KPA - a bottle-conditioned ale that we picked up when we judged at the SIBA Wales & West competition.

We thought that the beer was very nice but the excessive sediment in the bottle was off-putting. Stonehouse got in touch with me and said that what we experienced wasn't normal and so would send through another bottle of KPA.

I'm always happy to re-rate a beer especially if we downgraded it due to it's condition. Stonehouse went above and beyond and sent their whole bottled line-up through for review:

Stonehouse Brewery

• Cambrian Gold - 4.2% deep golden fruity beer with a subtle dry finish
• KPA - 4.6% crisp pale ale made with Green Bullet hops from New Zealand

Look out for 'baron ratings' for these Stonehouse Brewery beers soon, and a big thank you to@StonehouseBeer for sending these through to me!
