On Gravity at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 13/9/08. Golden in colour with next to no head. Aroma of savoury malt, grain and a whiff of grassy hop. Flavour was much of the same with some yeastiness and a cereal, bitter finish. Not so good.

Bottle, shared by fonefan. It pours a hazy, yellow-golden with a small off-white head. The aroma is strange in a way I have a hard time describing. Not very good eihter actually. There’s lots of grains and some fruits, but also something strange. Fruity, hoppy and citrusy flavor with a good malty dose. Lasting bitterness in the finish. Medium body. After a rather unpleasant aroma, the flavor luckily is much better, but overall, the beer is rather boring. (080822)

50 cL bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a lacing white head. Vegetable to herbal dry aroma. Dry and spiced flavour with a mild tobacco like hops bitterness and flavour coming through. Vegetable lasting finish. Strange

Bottle. Pours clear golden with a good offwhite head. Fruity citrus aroma, mostly oranges, with a hint of hay. Lemons, oranges and hay flavours, drier towards the finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Golden with a lively carbonation and a large head. Aromas are sweet lemon and oranges with yeast and grain. Flavours are tea, grain and citrus with lightly herbal notes. Some spritzy yeast. Decent.
