Cask (Gravity) at Charlbury Beer festival 04-07-09 Was called Blue Monkey Gold but understand this to be the same beer. Pours gold no head, pretty good clarity. There is a fuzzy furry bitterness that clings to the roof of the mouth which I rather like. Some honey sweetness, citrus and biscuit show. its drying at the end. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6
