Gravity cask at the 2019 Nottingham Beer Festival. Dark gold and clear with very little head. Massive aroma of white grape with a touch of astringency. Bittersweet on the tongue with suggestions of sweetness to the medicinal finish. An excellent British Isles IPA.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Robin Hood Beer Festival, Nottingham. Light, bright gold, with very little head. Gentle aroma of soft citrus. A touch of TCP. Nicely balanced taste: the intense sweetness of the initial sip is tempered with an aggressive bitterness neater the finish. The astringent note remains but always stays in the background. A delicious APA.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Nottingham Beer Festival. Light golden, very hazy with an uneven foamy white head. Light grapefruit aroma, some dried grass, some sulphur. Bittersweet and slightly astringent taste with a drying finish. More pithy grapefruit in the aftertaste. A fairly basic pale ale but an enjoyable one.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Nottingham Robin Hood Beer Festival. Light to mid-gold, slightly hazy with a touch of white head. Apricot, melon, a touch of banana in the aroma. Sweet taste at first but the hop asserts itself more confidently near the finish. Touch of glue in the aftertaste. All in all a very competent and enjoyable beer.

Draught at Gasworks. Hazy yellow with a medium head. Aroma of grainy fruit. Flavour is sharp fruit bitterness, kernels on a spiced based, a chili like spiced finish. Really mouth burst.
