Aroma is citrus hops going onto peachytness with biscuit malts coming through. Taste is similar floural at times and perhaps not as peachy as i like them but still nice with a decent bitter finish.

Cask at the Gig House (JDW), Wokingham. Straw in colour with a thin snow white head; the aroma has English hops and some grain; the taste starts with a light citrus but then develops a full hoppy bitterness; leading to a pleasant conclusion with chewy, resinous, slightly sweet hops.

Gravity @ the Pigs Ear Festival, East London, 2003.
Slightly lighter shade of gold. Refreshing hoppiness. I have noted that I was really struggling at this point in the festival but was on the improve. Coach home all the way by SilkT.

Cask @ Akkurat, Stockholm
Rather blonde for a seasonal beer like this. Fruity and malty and RCH house taste. Are they using lager hops (saaz?) for this?

Cask-conditioned at the Rising Sun, Frampton Cotterell, S Gloucestershire 14/12/08. ABV per the pump clip was 4.5%. Golden coloured with a short-lived white head. Aroma of apricots, pears and honey with some floral hops. Flavour was sweet, with biscuit malts, strawberries and more pears and some citrus hops in the finish. A bit of a surprise as a Christmas beer but ok.

Dec, 2003 Gravity fresh @ Pig’s Ear Festival, East London. Light fruit aroma - slight hint of Marris Otter. Scintillating fresh rush of citric tones softly backed by a gentle pale malt sweetness. A restrained bitterness. A pleasant fruity bitter. [3.1]
Dec, 2009 JDW, Rochester. Pale and dusty hoppy. Quite dry with a faint pineapple fruit. Nice enough. [3.0]
