@ Mason’s Arms, Strawberry Link, Cumbria. Golden-amber. Leafy hops and a nice spicy aroma. Soft body and a gentle bitterness. Leafy hop accent on the palate is appetizing. Finishes off-dry and quite refreshing.

Cask (@King’s Arms, Hawkshead): Golden to deep golden, creamy off-white head; distinctive aromatic-hoppy nose, with malt and berries underneath; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering hoppy finish with an increasing fruitiness in the aftertaste. Very good....

Gravicask at the Reading Beer Festival. Golden brown body with a bubbly ring on the surface. Some laceworks on the glass. Smooth and sweet hoppy nose. The taste falls on the hoppy side with a straight bitter finish. Clean tasting and good mouthfeel (sampled with Finn, 02.05.2008).
