Gravicask, 1/3 pint at GBBF Winter '23. Shared with Finn. Near-clear golden body, lacing rings down the glass, low white head. Moderately citrus nose, orange scent. Citrus taste, orange and grapefruit, bread-like malts in the background. Rounded ripe fruity end. Fair enough. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Gylden. Ferskenaroma. Smaken tørket frukt. Lett søtlig tørr avslutning. Litt tam.
