Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Shortlisted for the "Campaign for Real Ale Champion Beer of Great Britain" a pint of this amber coloured bitter is just packed with those fresh flowery aromas that only American Mounthood hops can achieve.
The more traditional English Fuggles and Golding hops add the required balance to this 'best bitter' whilst the underlying caramel flavours are achieved using a blend of Marris Otter, crystal and roast malts.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at The Junction Tavern. Pale amber colour with a slight head. Quite flowery, not much of the American hops to detect. Slight sour notes. Malty then bitter finish.

Cask. STandard bitter - nothing offensive, nothing special, but slips down easily.

Cask@30th Loughborough Beer Festival. Golden beer with a dry, hopped and slightly fruity flavour with a light aroma. Overall a gentle caramel beer.

Cask, Loughborough Fest 06. Amber with a small head. Aromas are very malty with caramel and citrus bitterness following. Flavours are sweet caramel malts with spicy hops. Grapefruit bitternes towards towards the finish. Simple, decent beer.

A deep amber beer with a weak white head. A strong floral hop nose with equally distinct malty caramel. The taste is again of floral hops but with a strong malty element. The aftertaste is bitter, but again with a hint of malt. (Draught - The Victoria, Holkham, Norfolk).
