Quite pale in colour for this type of beer. Light sweet malts are complemented by a clean floral hoppiness. This has flavours below its alcohol so be careful, because this is quite drinkable.

[cask at North Wiltshire Beer Festival] Citrus flavours are rather blotted out by the sweet, syrup-y aftertaste. Not a well balanced beer, and I was disappointed after other reviews on here. Still OK though.

Cask at the King William IV, Sneinton, Nottingham. A hazy golden beer with a lingering sweetness from the malt and more of those citrus hop flavours I love, Absolution has a pleasing creamy body. It’s yet another English blond beer of which I’m really rather fond.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Linolnshire Poacher Nottingham. A pale gold beer with a white head. A lemony citrus aroma. As this was served with a tight sparkler there was a creamy feel to the beer which got in the way of the obvious lemon hop flavours. I’ve had this gravity served in the past and it was tons better than this forgettable experience.

Gravity Cask @ Guide Dog Beer Festival. Pale slightly yeasty. A little malt. Not much hop flavour. Smoothly bitter. Not in best condition which reading the other reviews confirms. Av rating given
