COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
Pale beer with plenty of malted wheat for a balanced mouth feel. Well hopped with Cascade hops for both bittering and aroma. Rainbows End was the name of the café at the terminus of Ashover light railway which is to be returned to its original site in 2008.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Pale yellow color, small white head, some lace. Sticky "toilet hoppy" aroma, some green apples. Harsh, lime-vegetably hoppy flavor. This tastes a bit like some Czech pilsners. Not very likeable. ar4 ap2 f5 p2 ov8 2.1

A Mes rate: gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.
Light golden brown colour with a slight haze and a reasonable head. A standard but very balanced and well made bitter. Good grassy hops, good earthy malt... you know the drill. Dry bitter finish is just right. Good stuff.

Cask gravity at The Hop Pole, Easter Beer Festival, Aylesbury, Bucks in the company of Loz, Chris O and Ruth 10-04-09 Pours between straw and light gold with a thin white head, it looks good. Some sulphour on nose with a little fruit. Good bitterness, there is honey and citrus in combination, the citrus streaks around the mouth. Lovely beer. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov15 3.7

DruncanVeasey (5136) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - OCT 1, 2008
Cask, Victoria Inn, Rugby (Atomic brewery tap) Autumn Fest ’08. Straw with lace. Lemony mango citrus snout. Silky m/f, boiled sweet citrus, bit of wood, grassy hops, almond. A little rough around the edges, but decent. Hops just dwarfed by those house brews.
