18/6/2022. Cask at The Duke of York, Ipswich. Had a couple of pints of this at the Duke on a leisurely father's day afternoon out with the family. They know how to spoil me. Decent effort from Mighty Oak. Poured clear deep golden with a small frothy/creamy pure white head. Nice aroma of citrus, light tropical fruits, pineapple and grass. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Easy drinking. Enjoyed this.

Cask at the Elephant, Faversham on 30th April 2022. Clear gold with shallow off-white foam and full lacing. Zesty peel aroma. Grassy and citrus hops in-mouth and a finish of blended fruits and grassy hoppiness which begins to take over as the finish evolves. Very well kept.

500ml bottle bought at Hop Beer Shop. Shared with Finn on a 20:35 train from Colchester to Liverpool Street. Bubbly white head, bright, deep dark brown body. Dotted spots on the glassware. Moderate smell of semi-sweet, berry skins. Fruit-berry flavours, impacts of stewed fruits, and earthy, mid-sweet, malts. Drying, berry fruity end. Quite decent seasonal brew. (Train session, 23.11.2021).

Gravicask, half pint at Hop Beer Shop, shared with Finn. Near black in the glass, remaining beige head, fair lacing. Inviting smell of black chocolate malts. Rounded taste profile of chocolate and a note of liquorice. Roasted malt bitter finish. Well crafted stout, nice. (Chelmsford 23.11.2021).
