Gravicask at the Bricklayers Arms Derby Beer Fest. It pours golden yellow, with a thin white head. The nose is resin, light cheese, pine, oily hop and sweet lemonade. The taste is oily, resin, pine, hop bite, tangy citrus and lemon soap, with a decent bitter-dry finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Flavoursome and well balanced. Good job!

Gravity cask at The Bricklayers Arms Derby BF, London. Pours clear amber with a slight film. Bit of spice, light yeast, wheat in the aroma. Medium sweet flavor, some dough, light spiciness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Slight sugar finish, light wheat, spices. Not bad. Strikes me as some kind of wheat ale.
