Cask gravity at Reading BF 2011. Clear gold with lasting white head. Looks in great nick and just lovely citrus hops on the aroma. Wow that is delicious. Shows what you can do with a beer at this abv. Hops are wonderful and last and last. Touch of butter maybe. But stunningly lovely

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2011. Clear mid brown with thin off white head. Grapefruit American hop aroma. Unbelievably good. Its like a really good American style amber ale. Good drinkability. Some spicy rye and some lovely bitter fresh hop. Good biting grapefruit. Just beautifully drinkable with juicy fruits in yhe mouth and a finish that lives and lives. Best beer of festival so far
