Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 4/1/2017. Golden in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sweetish, biscuity malts, a touch of leafy hop and some citrus fruit, before a moderately bitter, finish. Fine.

Fra cask/gravity på Plymouth CAMRA Beer and Cider Festival 24 Sep 16. Mørkebrun. Lavt luftig skum. Kraftig appelsinaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken blodappelsin med en anelse sjokolade. Tørr avslutning.

Bottle from Kris Wines. Lively bottle sprayed a bit when opened, and then pours out with a huge rocky head. Mildly cloudy amber body. Up front malty aroma, taste takes off in a different direction, sharp, prickly hoppy bitterness. Malts linger in the background with some residual sweetness. Tangy on the finish too.

Il gusto al naso incontra il luppolo ed il limone. L’intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è notevole. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine e la carbonazione è media. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Il perlage è costituito da poche bollicine fini spinte all’insù da una carbonazione morbida. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L’amaro è deciso. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate per una "buona birra". Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. L’aroma in bocca riporta sentori di miele, frutta secca, resina, agrumi, erbe aromatiche, pompelmo, limone e cedro. L’alcol sappiamo che c’è, ma non è per nulla invasivo.

Gravicask, shared with Finn on the second day of Plymouth Camra Beer Festival 2016. Clear brown coloured body. Filmy layer, scattered lacing. Roasted dark chocolate malty nose. Malt-fruity taste of dark chocolate and roasted citrus peels. Soft in the mouth, Easy to drink. Satisfying (24.09.2016).

Gravity cask at the Land Rover Beer Festival 2016. Poured a crystal clear light straw colour with a bubbly round head. The aroma is yeast nettle floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light crisp hop, light toothpaste citrus palate. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. One of the better Downton beers.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, bubbly white head. Thin palate, modest fine carbonation. Light malts. Floralness that turns bitters. Repressed citrus. Dry floral finish. A bit tedious.
