Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is fruity hops, some grass and hay. Flavour is the same along with a slight sting of alcohol in the finish.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Copper with bubbly beige head. It’s got some good hops, one of the better IPAs today. It’s got enough balance to carry it off. Superb. Acutally does what it says. Good hop/malt balance. Good hoppy bitterness.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF. Dark gold coloured. Solid hoppy aroma with a little citrus. Huge hops in the flavour with a little too much alcohol showing. Thinnish mouthfeel. Bitter finish. Nothing too special.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF 2007. A copper coloured beer with a wonderful hoppy aroma with oranges and peaches. The taste is hoppy and perhaps a little too bitter. Great flavours but challenges and drys the tongue a little too much.

Cask at GBBF ’07. Copper. Sweet melony fruit aroma. Pleasant easy drinking fruity taste with a hint of coffee and some bitterness.

Had this on tap at the Portsmouth Brewery. Poured to a slightly hazy red-orange, with a thick off-white head that lingered for the entire glass and left great lacing. Aroma was a very sharp, very dominant hoppy grapefruit citrus, and the mouthfeel was bitter and tingly. This was a very full-bodied, almost creamy beer, with a strong, bitter citrus taste, and a long, dry bitter finish. My only regret was that I was just passing through and could not stay and enjoy more of this, although I bought a couple other Portsmouth bombers of different styles to go.
