Gravicask at 23rd St Albans Beer & Cider Festival. Low white head, clear yellow-gold body, bubbles at the surface. Mild, mid-dry malt-fruity nose. Taste of lemony fruits and juicy malts. Bitter endnotes. Pretty alright. (Shared with Finn, 27.09.2018).

Cask gravity at the St Albans Beer festival 2018. A clear golden coloured pour with a lasting loose white head. Aroma is dry grass, oysters, sea side, sea weed, metal. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, dirty grassy hop, harsh veg hop,. Palate is dry and grassy. Harsh aggressive bitterness. Really disappointing.
