In June 2019 Brakspear Bitter was renamed Brakspear Gravity. Brakspear Gravity is brewed using the famous Henley “Double Drop” fermentation system in Victorian in six original, handcrafted copper fermenting vessels from the Original Henley Brewery. This amber ale has crystal malt and a well hopped bitterness in taste, which transforms into a bitter- sweet and fruity finish.

Cask at Market Tavern, Stafford (not listed on Brewver). Pours golden amber with a small cream head and excellent lacing. Malts are the mainstay of the aroma alongside traces of honey and molasses. In the mouth it has a small covering of sweetness overlaying some deep seated bitter notes. Flavour is malts, autumn fruits and berries with hints of oranges coming through later. Finish is quite fruity and slightly dry. This is decent plenty of taste for such a low ABV.

Bottle at home. Pours copper with thin, persistent head. Decent bitter altogether, showing a good combination of biscuity malts and spicy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbo, easy to drink.

500ml bottle from the LCBO.
Nice golden/brownish pour, with a good white head, and some nice lacing. Aroma is very very nice, a good mix of english hops, and some very nice caramel/fruity malts. Flavour is very nice, lots of good hops, i love the subtle but full bodied english hops in a good bitter. A great bitter finish, a great example of the style. Amazing session ale.
