duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Nov 3, 2005 Cask@Twickenham beer Festival. Some leafy hop characters, and subtle grapefruit. Before that theres a slight caramelly sweetness, a little chalky/dusty, with a bitter finish (grapefruity). harrisoni (5382), Ashford, Kent, England Jan 28, 2008 Cask handpull at Simple Simons, Canterbury. Gold, thin beige head. Earthy perfumey bitter. bit of interesting peach on the aroma and nice hops. Walnutty too towards the finish. Fine. Mes_and_Sim (4495), Highgate, Greater London, England Mar 16, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Sussex Beer Festival. Golden brown colour with a thin white rim. Nice balance of malt and hops in the aroma with a delicate sweetness and slight bready notes. Similar flavour, a little bland but with a nice ginger spice note on a dry finish. So so. acrdz (4403), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jun 6, 2006 Updated: Aug 8, 2007Cask pint at a pub in the Gatwick Airport in London
Juicy orange in color, full, pillow-like white head. Has a bit of a juicy, hoppy bite, more sour on the back, with a bit of a gritty, spoiled celery flavor. Nose is slightly hoppy, with some orange juice citrus and bean sprouts/celery scents that take too much away. A bit of a mess. Pub (4124), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Apr 11, 2008 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Gold with no head. Pretty average dry malty bitter, bready notes atouch of yeast, but to bland to get excited about. Pretty ordinary.
