Cask at GBBF 2011. Hazy yellow brown color. Hefty banana, clove and tart fruit aroma and flavor. Sweet and very filling. Fermentation character is over the top.

Cask at GBBF 2011. Cloudy golden with a small white head. Strong diacetyl aroma with a touch of banana. Sweet caramelly and diacetyl flavour. I can’t take that much diacetyl...

tap at Canal St. location - This hazy gold brew has a good banana rich aroma. The flavor is sweet with ample banana notes and a touch of spice. It’s light to medium bodied. Fairly good.

GBBF. Cask. Cloudy gold beer, little white head. Smooth palate. Sweetish orange wheat with a trace of caramel. Some wheaty malt. Fairly dry finish. Not bad.

Gravicask at USA Cask Ale Bar, GBBF’11, one-third pint, 7% abv. Very cloudy, almost murky, golden body. Dotted spots on the glassware. Aroma of ripe banana. Banana, clove and doughy wheat in flavour. Medium bodied. Alright, but a tad too sweet (London, 04.08.2011).

Had this in Boston, thought it was excellent, nice wheat flavor, dark orange color, sweet, sort of like a hefe but more on the wheat side. Plenty of flavor and very drinkable, worth trying for sure

GraviCask (GBBF2011, Thursday)
Sweet bananaey aroma, very weizenbocky, a touch buttery too, but only to the same extent you’d get in an authentic German example. Full smooth palate. Sweet bananaey body, some bite of bitter hops too. Sweet toffee, like sahti. Finish has gentle fresh leafy hop buds. Nice.
