Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours golden yellow with minimal scummy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly sharp citrus with some hints of caramel. In the mouth it ticks both the sweet and sharp boxes. Citrus is dominant over all other flavours, lemon, lime mango and some oranges. Finish is dry and sticky. Not a bad beer per se, but too much citrus for my liking.

Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. Pitch black in the glass, bare naked surface, fragile lacing. Smoothly roasted aromas with chocolate malts. Tasty with chocolate and a bite of liquorice. Roasted bitter ending. Nice with the cheese board at the festival.

Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. A clear golden body, scattered lacing from a tiny white head. Moderate smell of lemony hops with a floral scent. Hop fruity taste of citrus with lemony hops to the fore. Distant bitter twist to the ending. Thirst quencher qualities.

Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. Poor lacing from a low, white head, clear golden body. Moderate citrus aromas, lemon to the fore. Hop fruity flavours with lemon and orange. Ends mid-dry with citric moments. Fair enough.

Light brown colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have lightly sweet malts. Smooth. A bit thinnish but a good session bitter with a light floral bitterness.
