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,
