Jul 25, 2009 [RBESG, Sheffield]
Cask @ The Museum, Sheffield.
Pours a nice, clear copper-amber with a super, staying, frothy, off-white head. Mild aroma with toasted caramel and subdued liqourice. Rather watery palate, soft carbonation. Flavour starts sweet and malty. Some heather honey and a herbal edge (perhaps thyme?). Toasted caramel make up the malty backbone. Long, bitter aftertaste with piney notes. Okay, but too thin.

Jun 2, 2009 Cask conditioned gravity dispense Northants BF. A chestnut coloured beer with a really good hoppy nose with a bit of lime jelly. Pretty bitter in the mouth with great hops and citrus flavours. A nice bosy and a really good beer.

Aug 3, 2008 Cask at the White Horse, 12th July 2008 with renffisch. Has a good deep mahogany colouration but the aroma is surprisingly alcoholic for the strength. Nicely malty at first with a late-appearing hop balance and a long bitter finish.

Jun 15, 2008 Cask at the King William IV, Nottingham. This brown beer has a sweet toffee base but what sets it out is its unexpectedly deeply bitter finish. It’s not my favourite Abbeydale beer but it was perfectly enjoyable.

Mar 26, 2008 Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 08. It’s funny, I could see what people were saying about this on the Saturday, but my rating from the Friday still stands. Chestnut colour with thin bubbly off white head. Yep, you get the amarillos on the aroma, some caramel. Fairly watery in mouth, not a lot of condition. Some good amarillo on finish. OK, but just lacks some body.

Mar 25, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Planet Thanet 2008.
Dark copper coloured. Glorious hoppy aroma with lovely barley, awesome notes of ginger and some slight orange. The Amarillo shows through really well in the flavour with some nice earthy malt and a gloriously bitter finish. Bags of flavour and character, gorgeous spicy notes. Stunning stuff for a 3.8% beer and a top drawer all day drinker drop of English.
