harrisoni (4896), Ashford, Kent, Kent, England May 9, 2008 Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Orange/gold with thin beige head. Dusty/blackberry aroma. Acidic blackberry in mouth, juicy sharp blackberry on finish. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very tasty and I love the fruit.
Mes_and_Sim (3927), London, Greater London, England Jul 9, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival. Bright, clean golden brown with a thin white head and in very good condition. Obvious blackberry in the aroma with some excellent grassy and floral hops on a good fruity malt base. Sadly the blackberry becomes really artificial once in the mouth. It over powers everything and gives it a full on sherbert kick that could have been so much better. Such a shame after the aroma.
