500ml bottle; BB 13th Sep 2018. Broached at home on 27th July 2018 and poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard. Golden body, wisp and collar fro a head. Cascade hops doing a fine job here, light citrus notes and a mild bitterness, malty base gives some sweetness to the brew. Easy drinking and inoffensive.

Gravicask at The 25th Maltings Festival. Clear warm golden coloured body.Low white head leaving spotty lacing down the glass. Rather rich smell of floral hops. Mid-sweet citrus flavours together with grassy hops. Semi-dry fruity end. Easy to drink. Quite alright. (Newton Abbot 28.04.2017).
