Third, gravicask at Swindon's 33rd Annual Beer Festival. Shared with Finn. Bright golden body under a covering white head. Scattered lacing. Moments of pale malts and noble hops on the nose. Flavoured with mid-dry malty sweetness and a backdrop of noble hops. Gentle mid-sweet pale malty end. Easy to drink. Pretty okay. (26.10.2019).

Third, gravicask, at the 22nd Oxford Beer & Cider Festival. Shared with Finn. Filmy layer, hazed orange coloured body, dotted spots on the glass. Moderate metallic smell of dried fruits. Similar taste of dried fruits. Noticeable alcohol to a sweet ripe fruity ending. Okay, rather unvaried though. (25.10.2019).
