Awful service. As a brewery tap you'd expect the satff to know about their beers. They didn't. Asked about the Wahiki and I was brought the pump clip.
Ordered Whakahari twice and was given completely different beers - staff rejected complaint and had a good laugh behind the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple Moose - Whakahari | 4.30 | | Nondescript light amber ale with, presumably, some New Zealand hops. |

Closed for three months this is now the Purple Moose brewery tap. Now there is less beer choice.
It's been heavily made over with the corporate branding. Lots of purple and lots of moose literally branded into the furniture.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple Moose - Antlered IPA | 5.20 | | Slightly heavy handed attempt at an American IPA. |
| Purple Moose - Ysgawen | 4.00 | | Flat, not good for the brewery tap. |

Very positive first impression. Staff were young and enthusiastisc, food was good and they are Fio friendly. But although there were 8 pumps none had anything light and hoppy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Castell Coch | 4.70 | | From an assured brewer this didn't quite work for me. Just too heavy on the chocolate and winter fruits |
| Big Hand - Seren | 3.70 | | Light gold, slightly citrussy but thin and dull |
