Doppelganger (1214), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Jul 24, 2006 Cask at Bells in Bath. Bright copper, just a faint skim of bubbles. Clean sweet malt, just a touch of earthy hops and gentle fruit. A satisying full hop flavor that fills my mouth with goodness, but doesn’t feel clingy or pithy. A pleasant underlying grainy character, and sweetness to balance the hops. Soft, but enough carbonation to be lively and refreshing. A very pleasant ale, in good shape, and enjoyed in a nicely eccentric pub.
MesandSim (4623), Highgate, Greater London, England Oct 27, 2008 <i>A Mes rate: gravicask at Twickenham beer festival.</i><br />Clean dark gold with a decent white head and pretty good condition. A rather pleasant almost lambic like lemony sourness in the nose. There is certainly nothing wrong with it though, just a very good sharp citric bite. It seems very much intended. A really good biscuit malt base. The flavour is pretty similar. A slight vegetable note lingers that I’m not too sure about but it kinda reminds me of Lowlander vegetable crisps, which I like, so I’ll deal with it. Big fruity finish with a well pitched sweetness. Decent beer. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Apr 29, 2008 Cask conditioned @ Star Inn, Bath. Light copper. Solid malt feel and unadventurous but tasty leafy hops well balanced. mabel (1710), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 23, 2007 [668-20070923] Cask @ Bag O’ Nails (Bristol, BR). Vinegar malt aroma has an earthy spice background and "cheese on toast with a bit of HP sauce" rounding things off. Clear, amber orange body with quick white bubbles. Candied ham base flavour also has off-peach and earthy meat notes. Medium body. This certainly does ring a few bells. Ungstrup (11692), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 14, 2007 Cask at GBBF 2007. A hazy golden beer with a thick orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with a fine grassy note. The flavor is sweet malty wtih notes of caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish. ChristianScheffel (2318), Odense, Denmark Oct 30, 2007 Golden with a small white head. Malty aroma with herbal and grassy notes. Dry and malty flavour.
