A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
Mid gold with a thin white rim. A lovely sweet and yeasty ESB with Belgian accents. Good hoppage, slight ginger. Bitter, dry and very tasty.

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest 07. Hazed pale gold with slight head. Initial fleshy fruit, peachy but to the extent of being perfumey / soapy. Good malty body with body followed by a bitter finish. Its ok.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Peachy aroma. Lasting thin white head. Really lovely fruit, white stone fruit flavour with then balanced hop finish. Lovely balanced beer between aroma, palate and finish and between hop and malt. Some juicy malt. Good pepper hop finish. Very dry. Some citrus and a bit of grapefruit.
