Cask, Gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, Oxon, 08-05-09 Pours very dark brown in fact almost black with a light beige head. There is some nuts and roasty malts coming off of this beer. Tasted a tiny bit nutty but the roasted malts were there as was some liquorice, good fruitiness throughout. A decent beer but far from the best in the Elland range. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Cask gravity at Reading BF 09. Gold, no head. Hop and I thought butter on the aorma. Good hops through out, bit earthy, bit citrusy, some grapefruit, and a nice bite about the beer. It’s fullish and very drinkable.

Cask handpull at The Wenlock Arms, London. Chestnut colour, lasting ivory head. Fresh on, decent malts, lovely, red fruits. OK balancing hop. Quite dry and sparkly. But this is about the red malts. Decent stuff, I like it. Like a proper Amerian red ale/amber ale. A bit like Laurelwood Organic Red, but English. Salty pork chops somewhere here. Bizarre and brilliant.
