Pump clip implies that this is brewed at the brewpub in Cricklade rather than the main brewery in Swindon

Third, gravicask, at the 22nd Oxford Beer & Cider Festival. Shared with Finn. Filmy layer, hazed orange coloured body, dotted spots on the glass. Moderate metallic smell of dried fruits. Similar taste of dried fruits. Noticeable alcohol to a sweet ripe fruity ending. Okay, rather unvaried though. (25.10.2019).

Delt med Rune på the 22nd Oxford Beer & Cider Festival 2019. Ferskenfarget. Uklar. Filmskum. God søt bæraroma. Smaken fruktkompott. Sterk. Alkoholen skinner gjennom.
