bottle from Threshers Sidmouth. Hazy brownish-golden colour, small creamy head. Malty, fruity nose. Rather light-bodied with a shy malty background, some fruity notes and a good and aromatic hoppy finish. Slightly watery overall, though.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Sussex Beer Festival.
A nice copper amber colour but it’s all downhill from there. Caramel, vanilla and diacetyl. Pretty awful and close to undrinkable. Must be bad.
