[i]Cask/Gravity at The Swan Beer Festival, Islip 05-10-07[/i] Deep amber pour with a synthetic smell. Tastes of vimto and some fruity syrupy, it’s shocking, the once proud badge of Ruddles is really having it’s face slammed into the dirt by GK with yet another shocking offering, why are they bothering.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Amber, thin beige head. Slightly sweet, kiddie sweet fruit. Base beer is fine. This sweet fruit on the end combined with a tingling hop is pretty poor. In fact it’s pretty bad.
