Hazy golden colour with lasting head. Aroma has some sweet fructose. Flavour also has it. Close to raspberry. Also floral, dry hops in the finish.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Nottingham Beer Festival. Golden and hazy with a small uneven white head. Light aroma of ripe mango, pumpkin and TCP. Tastes bittersweet with a sweet candied note just before the finish, where it turns slightly drier. Dried tropical fruit mix and a touch of sulphur in the aftertaste. Nice.

Gravity poured half-pint at the 8th Annual Beer Festival at The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon on 25th August 2017. Really pleased to see a beer from Northern Ireland at the festival and a new brewery for me too. This came out the firkin a hazy light amber with no real head, so not a great start in my eyes as I prefer clear bodied brews. The aroma was of tropical fruits and malty molasses, the taste similar with a citrus leaning more so in the mouth than in the nose. Nice in the sun.

Keg at the Barrel Drop, Nottingham, Friday 21st April 2017 in the company of Dad and Pauline, we’re off to the Ferocious Dog gig at the Rescue Rooms. Pours hazy gold with a soft white head. Good punchy, dry finish, good thrusting lemony bite. We all liked it. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Tap @ Bittles Bar, Belfast, shared with Niilstrong. A bit hazy golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, hops, lightly buttery unfortunately. Might be a bit old, I’ve got the feeling this wasn’t bad at all when fresh. Solid bitterness, pity the light buttery flavor is in the aroma.
