Gravicask as English IPA, on the Eridge train station, Spa Valley 9th Beer & Cider Festival. Shared with Finn. Covering pearl white head, clear amber body, fair lacing. Floral hops and mild grainy malts on the nose. Fresh orange fruity taste supported by bread-like malts. Resinous bitterness to the ending. Well made considering the low abv. Nice. (Tunbridge Wells 18.10.2019).

Cask at Pigs Ear 2018, day one, 04/12/18. Golden copper with a decent off white head. Nose is grass, light vegetal notes, straw, hint of citric zest. Taste comprises crackers, grains, twiggy, grass clippings, biscuit, faint fruit esters. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Passable number ... least pleasing from this series for me.
