Gravity cask at the 2018 Leicester Beer Festival. Dark gold, slightly hazy with a bit of white head (but mostly flat). Apple/pear aroma with some astringency. The taste is slightly bitter with a bit of a plastic note, bitter finish with a wax fruit candy aftertaste. Not terrible but fairly disappointing.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. Dark brown, opaque, some natural carbonation and a small wisp of khaki head. Chocolate malt dominates the aroma, and there is a subordinate milky latte note. Taste has a surprising amount of sourness, but this balances the natural lactic sugariness, Oily body. Some blueberry in the aftertaste, Interesting drink, not the best beer of the festival but worth a try.
