Cask Stillage at the GBBF Earl’s Court, London 08/08/2008 Hoppy pine aroma. Golden coloured and hazy in appearance with a crisp dry and slightly bitter finish.

Cask at GBBF 08. Hazy pale gold. Thin white head. That’s weird. A bit sherberty. Malts are a bit mixed. Not my favourite. Building lemon hop on finish. Bit of lemon curd flavour on the swallow.

A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF.
A dirty and hazy yellow brown with a thin white head. Salty fruit with a slight tarty note in the aroma. Inoffensive flavour, it’s just really bland . Very fruity with a slight bitterness pretty much sums it all up. Still, it’s better than the last cream ale I had.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy golden color with a small sized head. Grains dominate the aromas with some underlying fruitiness and corn. Tastes of grains, wet hay, and corn. Thinner body.
