On cask at The Grove, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out English bready malt, subdued hops, and a hint of toasted nuts. Flavour is smooth, with bready malt, subtle English hops, and legit fungal notes. Smooth and drinkable but pretty overrated.

Gravicask, half pint, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Bright amber body, fragile lacing from a disappearing white head. Malt-fruity nose, scent of cereal malts and lemony hops. Flavoured with grass, lemon, and herbal hops on a fundament of bread-like malts. Malt-fruity end, slightly bitter. Medium bodied. Pretty nice. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).

Gravicask, half pint, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Super clear warm golden body, bubbles on the surface, spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of grass and leafy hops. Mixed fruity flavours of green hops and with a citric touch, semi dry malty base to it. Mid-bitter fruity endnotes. Satisfying. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).
