Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available in 18 and 36 pint containers direct from the brewery and in bottles.
Notably hoppy ale which is light to medium-bodied, clean-tasting, refreshingly dry, with a balancing sweetness. Citrus, pale malt aroma and dry, bitter finish. Consistent. Amber gold in colour.

Cask handpull, The Star, Bath. Bright lacing yellow with a collapsing white lid. Slight citric and hay aroma joined by grass and soapy bitterness, vomit, nuts and vanilla on the palate. Butter in a good way, digestive crumbs, rub of celery. Not much to it.

[cask] Weak caramel and toffee aroma with a weak apple note. Almost clear copper with a lacy, white, thin top. Relatively bitter caramel flavour with slight lemon and floral hops. Uninteresting. Light to medium body, low carbonation, moderately bitter finish.

Cask (Helsinki Beer Festival 2009) - Gold/amber in colour. Malty and ever so slightly citric aroma. Malty and slightly fruity taste with hints of grain.

(Cask at HBF2009) Amber and clear. Small white head that lasts quite long. Fruitiness, toffee and malts in aroma. Medium bodied and dry palate with little bit of carbonation. Malts, toffee, bitterness, bread and sweetness in taste. Bitter and malty aftertaste.

Cask (HBF2009)
Mid gold, small head. Sour fruity aroma, and a bit sickly. Grainy, but a bit dull. Long biting hoppy finish.

bottle, Darts Farm. Hazy golden yellow, small white head. Fruity-hoppy nose. Medium-bodied, malty background with some nice spicy hoppy flavours and a touch of orange and lemon peel. A very nice bitter.

A Mes rate: gravicask at Twickenham beer festival.
Clean dark gold with a decent white head and pretty good condition. A rather pleasant almost lambic like lemony sourness in the nose. There is certainly nothing wrong with it though, just a very good sharp citric bite. It seems very much intended. A really good biscuit malt base. The flavour is pretty similar. A slight vegetable note lingers that I’m not too sure about but it kinda reminds me of Lowlander vegetable crisps, which I like, so I’ll deal with it. Big fruity finish with a well pitched sweetness. Decent beer.
