Initial warmth followed by intense citrus flavours developing. Medium to full bodied, with complex hop character. Dry finish and very hoppy aroma.

Gravicask, 1/3 pint at GBBF Winter '23. Shared with Finn. Bubbly white head over a clear golden body, clingy lacing. Lemony hops and grainy aromas. Impacts of grapefruit and lemony hops to the flavour profile. Drying close, ripe fruity bitterness to it. Likeable. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).
