Dec 28, 2009 Cask (handpull) at Thornbridge Hall Garden Party, 2009. It’s elderflower and then moreso; so fresh in the aroma that it takes on an almost peppery edge, the flavour is anchored by an assured malt base though the flavour still itches. Sat in the splendid gardens of Thornbridge Hall with the sun on my back, Craven Silk proved itself to be a barnstorming summer beer.

Hop and some roast aroma. Golden coloured hoppy and floral with a little dryness and roast malt in a crisp finish.

Aug 3, 2009 A Mes rate: cask at the Fat Cat.
Bright light gold with a thin but lasting white head and lots of condition. Huge elderflower hand in hand with some very good hops and held up really well by some excellent earthy malt. Ian’s right, it’s almost gingery with the excessive elderflower. Typically drinkable for a Thornbridge beer. Good stuff.

Jul 26, 2009 Cask in the fat cat. Alround rating: Massive elderflower peppery character, dry and grasy, bitter floral pwepperyness. Quite different but its not really my deal.

Jul 25, 2009 [RBESG, Sheffield]
Cask @ The Fat Cat, Sheffield.
Pours slightly hazy golden with a fine, staying, off-white film head. Aroma is sweet, some clear elderflowers and flowery hops. Medium, prickly carbonation, fine and light mouthfeel. Flavour is rather sweet, lots of elderflowers. Light flowery dry bitterness in the finish. Fresh, but just a bit too much elderflowers for me.

Jul 21, 2009 Cask Conditioned Gravity Dispense Merton BF. A golden coloured beer with a little ring of whitish bubbles. The aroma has lots of elderflower but also spicy pepperiness too. Spicy peppery and floral in the mouth. Clean, crisp and good.
