A Mes rate. Gravicask at National Winter Ale festival. Clean golden brown with a good white head and decent condition. A fairly dull malty brew with hints of tea and a little citric bitterness. Lightly roasted malt in the finish. Inoffensive but lacking enough character to shine.

Bottle from Arden Wines. Tight lasting white head on hazy gold. Slick, lacy and full at 3.8. Beautiful fibrous pineapple jelly spinkled with pineneedle US hop aroma. Soapy and slightly astringent with less of the citrus brilliance and pine in the mouth. Hint of ash, almost chocolate despite the paleness. Galena? Bit murky but a lacy, flavoursome GA.

Cask conditioned, gravity dispense at The George, Barford St. Michael, Oxon. Yellow gold with very slight head. Light, thin, lagery type beer, quite dry and unfortunately flat. A touch of caramel in the body and just a hint of lemony hop. Drinkable but just a little boring.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Cambridge BF. A golden coloured bitter. The aroma is light with a flowery saaz feel to it, and a hint of fart. The taste is light, but reasonably well balanced. Quaffable, but ultimately quite dull.

A pale, golden yellow coloured beer with a thickish white head. A light, hoppy nose, zesty lemon leads the citrus fruit charge, with grapefruit and orange, and a touch floral as well. The taste is is dry and hoppy, zesty citrus fruits again, then a touch floral which leads into a more sweeter, buttery malt flavour. The finish is dry, zesty and a little fizzy.
