2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask Conditioned at The Horse & Groom, Caulcott. Orange amber beer with foamed head. Malty based beer with a sweet caramel flavour laced with a roughish ginger. The ginger, though sharp is at a low enough level to allow some other flavours through, hence a lasting sweetness in the finish. I've never been a great fan of Ginger in beer though.

Gravicask at GBBF. Blonde coloured. Ginger and hoppy aroma. Standard blonde flavour with a slight hint of ginger. Not a fan of ginger in beer and this is no exception.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask (handpump) at the Forum (JDW), Lincoln, April 2008. Pale gold colour. Nice condition. Quite faint ginger in the aroma but much stronger ginger notes in the flavour. Fairly subtle - more of a golden ale with ginger accents than a full on ginger bomb. Clean, fresh and fairly tasty.
