Aug 25, 2008 Courtesy of GMCC2181. 12oz bottle pours up orange - copper with thin off white head. The mild aroma comes off as roasty with just a bit of pine hop character. The taste begins with roasted malts and pine hop bitterness and moves towards a little nuttiness and faint butterscotch. Midway and to the finish the roasted malts and pine hop bitterness alternately surge forward and back again in strength. It leaves a tasty hop bitterness and mild roasted malt note behind in the after taste favoring the hops.

Aug 14, 2008 Pours dark orange / bronze with a deep tan head that’s quite dark for an IPA. The arom has lots of chewy malt and some fully juicy grapefruit and orange. Medium / full body with semi-sharp carbonation that’s a bit slick. The flavor starts with dry toffee, caramel, toasted malt and light woodiness. The finish is dry and lingering. Okay IPA.

Aug 14, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF.
Amber colour with no head. Fairly raw and alcoholic aroma with a straight forward hop juice kick. Raw as hell once it gets into the mouth. This is almost like it hasn’t been brewed and they have just plonked some hops into a load of vodka. Rough as hell and not for me.

Aug 10, 2008 Date: 12 oz. bottle on 08/01/08
Aroma - Toast, burnt caramel, some spicy and eartht hop aromas
Appearance - Clear orange/amber, rather spare off white head, just so-so lace
Flavor - Malt flavors dominate, notably caramel, some spicy bitterness enters late
Palate - Medium body and carbonation, slightly resinous,, and a bit of stickiness.
Overall - A little too malt dominated for my tastes, but quite drinkable.
