Gravicask at Plymouth Camra Beer Festival 2016. Clear copper in body colour, just a few spots on the glass. Malt-fruity aroma. Taste of mid-sweet malts and dried fruits followed by plain bittersweet finish. True to the style (Shared with Finn, 23.09.2016)

GBBF Day 3. Clear copper color, medium sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, caramel, caramalts, malt bitter, a slight tart hint in there but it doesn’t become annoying. Although it does get more up front after a while. In the end it’s meh.

Cask @ Golden Pheasant, Biggleswade. Light brown, a bit hazy. Astringent aroma with a fresh spruce hop. Taste is bitter and fresh, but a bit too astringent for my taste. Not the most exciting beer in the world but drinkable enough.
