A deep golden colour with flavours of apricot and smooth honey. A perfect balance of malt and fruit which enables the taste of beer to flow through.

Gravity at Barrow Hill Festival - Clear yellow body, thin bubbly white head. Nose is full on apricots. Nothing else, had fruit beers with less fruit in the nose. All downhill from there. Taste is a bit grassy, palate rather thin. Good one to sniff, but you first and foremost don’t buy beer to sniff it, do you?
