Beer - #395 - Celt Experience - Celt Silures

I've previoulsy had the Ogham Willow, and I got the chance to buy this Celt Experience Celt Silures and I couldn't not. Well I could have, there was more choice, bit this seemed to call to me.

Brewed by Celt Experience this is in the style that is American Pale Ale
and they are in the place in Wales that has a Cheese named for them too! Caerphilly, Wales.

A chunky 500ml bottle of a beer of 4.6% ABV- a golden ale of 61 IBU things  and 138 calories a serving, this is a bottle holding 1.81 standard drinks then.  Label has a QR code on it, IDK. anyways  61 IBU  is sort of IPA-ish

"Powerfully hopped with sweetmalt and a depth of tropical fruit
Tribal vistas where all is conquered. 
Silures were a powerful Celtic tribe from todays South Wales stood tall against Roman invasion"

A powerful and deep bodied pale ale with a fruity spectrum of aromas. This robust

beer is brewed using a balance of flavour malts and Pacific and Alantic hops, the result is a massive dry-hopped beer with a perfect profile of bitterness, sweet vanilla maltiness and a blend of citrus passionfruit and mango on the finish. The beer is named after a powerful and warlike tribe of ancient Britain, occupying approximately the counties of Monmouthshire, Breconshire. The Silures made a fierce resistance to the Roman conquest about AD 48, and it remains unclear whether they were actually militarily defeated or simply agreed to come to terms with the Romans!

It'll make a change of pace to drink this. An unusual delivery with a foil top,

Ogham Willow Magestic IPA – 8.8%
95 IBUs – American Yeast, Big World Hops and Euro malt
Willow is instrumental in spawning spiritual visions, engendering a clearer understanding of the world in which we live. A Big beer…. A Magic craft….. Magestic…… Yes Magestic, not just majestic Created with percolating, infusing and dry hopping with potent US hops, but allowing balance through deep bodied British malts and cultivating a smooth citrus backbone from Eastern European hops.

330ml bottle, 8.5% ABV, 95 IBU,  264 calories and 2.21 standard drink units .

Lots of yeast and hop aroma on opening.  Dark Orange pour, and of course no head!, fruity aroma though.

Wow that's a whole mouthfeel of flavours, bittern some sweet notes, finishes bitter and a bit dry.

Come Citrus too, orange.

It's quite nice, it's a full on experience in the mouth, but it's a complicated beer, in my own opinion.

The pdubyah-o-meter thinks that this is ok, but it's in a big field of many good beers. This does have things going on and layers in it that others in this class don't have, the orange is quite pronounced.  Bitter and finishes dry. So a deserved 7 making this a good beer. I do have another, which his unusual for me, and so I reserve the right to review my review or on appeal. 

It's Friday, this friday there is no music, as yet.... but it is early and I do have ideas.....
