A Mes rate: Gravicask @ Planet Thanet. Standard dusty hop nose. Copper / amber coloured. Lovely hoppy flavour with some nice citric and sugary notes. Almost tarty hop finish. Its all about the hops really but they are lovely hops it must be said.

Nekronos (2655) - Xalapa, MEXICO - SEP 5, 2006
Nothing special, just anothe rbitter among more than a thousand beers in a festival. Somewhat amber and not greasy, but taste easy to forget with the time. Good foam though.

harrisoni (10067) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUL 24, 2005
UPDATED: NOV 11, 2006 Cask gravity at Kent BF. Dark gold, some goodish citric hop nose. Not a bad session citric hoppy ale. 3/5 Re-rate Cask handpull at Evening Star, Brighton. Pale copper colour with lasting off white head. Lovely soft hoppy session bitter. Some tangerine fruit. Grassy citric tangerine finish. Some yeast on aroma. Some citrus hop, juicy fruit in mouth, satsuma, then nice candied satsuma fruit finish. Impressive. The orange fruit is stunning. Great tangy hop finish. One of the best session beers I’ve had in years.

Cask@Twickenham BF. Quite decent. Some fruity hops. Nice fresh flavours of kiwi fruit (i seemed to be getting this in a lot of English Golden ales lately). lemonyy dry finish, a little grainy, but nice and fresh.
