Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Halloween Festival 2011. Pours clear caramel with a foamy, off-white head. Aroma holds berries, apple and tart fruit in general. Flavor is pretty dire: weak leaves, light sugar, tangy fruits. Light bodied with tingly carbobation. Faintly sweet finish, bland, mild caramel, fruit. Pretty dire on the whole, really. Could be poor conditioning.
