MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 7, 2007
A Mes rate: Gravicask up the Junction. I enjoyed every minute of this one. Amazingly aromatic hoppy nose with all the flowery ctric notes you could wish for (and hoppy beers just are not usually my thing so that really is praise indeed) Beautiful crisp golden colour with a light topping of head and lace. Full on hop fest in the mouth and is lovely and dusty. Superb creamy palate for what it is. Glorious hoppy session bitter.

imdownthepub (7461) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 29, 2006
Cask conditioned at Sands, Grange over Sands, Cumbria. Gold colour with white northern head. Dry resinous bitter with touches of caramel. Long hoppy finish, a beer that thinks it is much bigger than it is, not bad at all.
