Cask conditioned at Minehead Beer Fest ’11. Pale gold with white head. Quite light in the body, there is a biscuity malt note than a good pleasant sweetish lemon hop note. It finishes fairly bitter. More complex than expected. Nice beer.

A Mes rate. Gravicask at the Junction Tavern.
Clean pale gold. No head what so ever. Way to go Junction. First day and already the beers are struggling. Laughable. Excellent bright crisp hoppy nose. Really fruity and floral. Almost identical in the flavour. Just a little thin and whimpish in the finish. Could do with just a touch more body and certainly some bittering hops. Just a touch mind. Other than that, a glorious summer session ale. Great stuff.
