Jul 8, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.
Bright gold, a good white head and excellent condition. Tangy malt aroma well balanced by some spicy ginger hops. Equally tangy flavour bit this time from some glorious tangerine and peach hoppage. Good earthy malt base. Kick of sweetness just before it is booted out of the way by a surprisingly good bitter finish. Far and away the best cask lager I have had, very impressed. If only there were more beers like this, maybe there would be less InBev in the world...

May 13, 2008 [on draught at the Hobgoblin, Reading] Claims to be a cask conditioned lager, but lives up to it’s name - much
more like a golden ale than a lager. Sweet honeyed aroma and initial
taste, before the bitterness kicks in. Lots of citrus flavours. Slightly
disconcerting drinking something so sweet and so bitter in the same taste.
Lovely honeyed hops aftertaste.

Sep 30, 2007 Bottled. Golden with a brief head. Malty aroma with notes of straw, apricot, butter, white bread and grass. Oranges, apricot, straw and grass in the cotton-like flavour. Medium bitter finish with notes of lemon and straw. A lager with a great charcter.

May 19, 2007 Cask gravity at Ealing BF 2007. Clear gold, bubbly white lasting head. Yes it has got lager malt, but the hops are excelllent. Decent citrus hops all over it. The finish in particular is reminiscent of a bitter. Ditto the mouthfeel. More of a golden beer than a lager.
