Bottle from Dartmouth Wine Company, Dartmouth. Clear amber pour to begin with, although as the beer has been in the cellar six years the last pour made it cloudy. Nothing wrong with the brew though with a small head and fruity notes in both aroma and taste. There's a fair bitterness to proceedings with its strength providing a good body.

5% ABV Limited Edition 330ml bottle (#0470 of 3000); BBE Apr 2019. Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass at home on 17th Nov 2018. The second beer of a mini-tasting I had with myself and no one else. Dark amber body, off-white head that hung around. Light citrus lead in both the hoppy nose and hoppy taste, malts in the background here. Fairly bitter with some piney hop earthiness arriving after the initial citrus hit.

Gravicask at The 25th Tuckers Maltings Beer Festival. Warm golden body, next to clear. Low, bubbly, white head. Mild tropical fruity nose. Modest fresh fruity taste joined by bread like malts. Rounded malt-fruity finish. Medium bodied. Satisfying. (Newton Abbot 27.04.2017).

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2017. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Hoppy aroma and flavour. Good hops good tropical fruit juice. No real bitterness. It’s a tasty enough beer a little earthy rustic and the hops go on and on in the finish but good enough.
