Gravity, shared with Finn at NWAF ’16. Next to clear amber coloured body. Tiny pearl white head, minimal lacing. Leafy hops on the nose. Mixed taste of fresh and dried fruits, mild caramel beneath and leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied. Pleasing (Derby 18.02.2016).

Gravity, shared with Finn at NWAF ’16. Golden-brown in body colour. Dotted spots on the glass. Modest aroma of pale malty joined by grassy hops. Spiced mid-sweet fruity hops to the flavour character, pale malts beneath. Bittersweet endnotes. Easy going (Derby 18.02.2016).

Cask at the Alehouse, Reading - the 2016 version - not sure who brewed this - ABV4.8%. Amber with a thin white head; herbal, almost vegetable aroma; full bodied and fruity with a herbal bitterness; then a dry finish. A satisfying bitter.
