Description
Grafton Brewing Company is named after the Grafton Hotel on Gateford Road in Worksop. The Grafton was built in 1865 by a gentleman called Joseph Gardside. Joseph Garside was one of the founders of Worksop and Retford Brewery.

The multi award winning micro brewery, Grafton Fine Ales was founded, formerley known as Grafton Brewing Company in 2007. The first brewing premises were behind the Packet Inn on Bescoby Street in Retford, Nottinghamshire. We acquired our brand new premises in May 2014 back in Worksop after we outgrow our previous premises. Which also saw us increase our plant size from a 5 barrel plant to a 15 barrel plant for us to keep up with demand.

Gravity at Barrow Hill Festival - Clear yellow body, thin bubbly white head. Nose is full on apricots. Nothing else, had fruit beers with less fruit in the nose. All downhill from there. Taste is a bit grassy, palate rather thin. Good one to sniff, but you first and foremost donโ€™t buy beer to sniff it, do you?

Cask @ Old Black Bull, Preston. Golden-blonde with a small head. Lightly hopped with very light fruits evident throughout, all with a citrus kick to them.

Cask at the Albion, Ampthill. Pale amber with a thin white head; biscuity aroma; biscuity taste, lightly bitter with a faint touch of citrus; and a biscuity finish. Satisfying but not very exciting.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear โ€™14, day 1, 02/12/14. Mahogany brown with no head. Nose is big coconut oil, coconut shower gel, light chocoalte, dark malt notes. Taste comprises much the same, a one trick pony, all coconut, too sweet really. Medium body, moderate carbonation, smei drying close. One trick sweetness, couldnโ€™t take more than a few glugs of this nonsense!

Cask (Roebuck JDW, Nottingham) - Amber in colour. Sultanas and banana cake can be detected in both the aroma and the taste, but not much else is going on. I was expecting it to be a bit more sickly and sweet but it is quite nicely balanced.
