Gravity, Cask at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks’ 16-11-09 Pours chestnut in colour with a loose filmy off-white head. There is mainly malt and a slight creamy sweetness on the nose. Quite full bodied beer with solid malty backbone, hops not quite as zappy as I expected, touch fruity. pleasant stuff. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov14 3.4

Cask-conditioned at the brewery tap, the Rising Sun, Frampton Cotterell, S Gloucestershire 25/11/08. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head that left plenty of lacing down the glass. fruity malt aroma with some earthy hops. Flavour started sweetish, with plenty of malt before some orange, citrus hops became noticeable, leading to a decent bitter finish. Good stuff.
