| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 2, 2009 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. asheft (1443), Marburg, Germany

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. SaintMatty (1236), Tallinn, Estonia

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2008 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.
