A slightly hazy yellow/orange beer with a small head. The aroma is hoppy with citrus notes. The flavor is very fresh fruity and flowery with notes of straws, lemonpeel, grapefruit, and aroma hops. A nice refreshing beer.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Golden beer with bubbly white head. Flowery, grassy hop which belies the intensity in the mouth. Flowery/floral hop, underpinned by biscuit malt with intense hop finish. Really tingles the tongue. Good supping beer. So good I had to get another half.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
pale gold colour. Lip smacking citric hops with some good earthy malt and a bitter finish. It’s a Crouch Vale golden ale, does exactly what it says on the tin. Not their best but still jolly good stuff.

Cask at paisley beer fest. Alround rating: Everything i expect from a crouch vale beer, citrusy pale malt goodness. One of the few beers i had a pint of. The other beer brewers gold and amarillo.

Cask@GBBF 04’. You can always count on Crouch Vale. After a relatively poor run on English beer, me and ChrisO decided to go for this little number. Nothing fancy, just nice, solid, fresh and hoppy. Some subtle lychee and lemon fruit, nice dry, medium bitter finish, very more-ish, and very well balanced.
