Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. A clear warm golden body under a tiny white head leaving fragile lacing behind. Fresh smell of sappy fruits, including grapefruit scent. Soft hop fruity taste, hints of peaches and grapefruits. Piney bitter edge to the ending. Medium bodied. Pretty tasty.

Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. Deep clear amber body, film-type layer, scattered lacing. Hop fruity aromas, herbal moments with citric support. Quite rich fruity flavours, moments of lemon and orange, flowed by mild leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Rounded mouthfeel, Nice.

1/3 cask pour at GBBF Winter. dark golden pour with a small, sturdy head. Aroma and taste are right in the wheelhouse for the style, Malty, mild sweetness and just enough bitterness.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours golden brown with a medium sized frothy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is a mix of malts and bitter hops with a few nuts thrown in for good measure. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy with malts and honey to the fore. Some hoppiness comes through later. This is an enjoyable quality golden bitter – nice !

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with minimal almost white head. Only a vague arma of malts and fruits. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with summer fruits to the fore plus malts and hints of peaches. Later on there are traces of floral hops too, leadng to a slightly fruity finish. It’s reasonable, if somewhat bland.

Cask at Earl of Chester, Crewe (not listed on RateBeer). Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with medium sized white head and good lacing. The aroma is a mix of traditional hops anf malts. In the mouth it starts off fairly sweet with some hoppiness, but then bitterness creepa in and eventually takes over. Flavour of gentle citrus plus hints of ginger and bread rolls. Finish is slightly bitter. It’s reasonable.
