Tap to rate

A Welsh lager with floral notes and grass and lemon on the nose, light and full in character and brewed at 4.4% with Cascade hops and Weihenstephaner lager yeast. The name means 'still here' and borrows from the anthem of Welsh pride, the song of Dafydd Iwan, who backs the beer, which is meant for every match and celebration in Cymru.
