(Cask at Mill Hotel, Chester, 21 July 2009) Copper colour with brief, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, toffee and dusty hops. Fruity, malty taste with dried apricots, biscuity malt and hints of dusty hops in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Decent but hardly exciting.

Gravicask at The Bricklayers Arms Lancashire Fest, 14th Sept 2007. Gold, honey-coloured beer with a fresh hoppy aroma. Sweet, honey taste with hints of damsons. Nice lingering bitter finish. Decent stuff.

Cask, Aikmans Cellar Bar, St Andrews. Golden with a thin cream head. Nose is hoppy with some sweet toffeeness, not anything really distinct here. Mouth is much the same, some syrupy sweetness with a nice crisp hop balance. Really just not great.

Cask Handpump at Wilkie’s Tavern, Warrington 28/11/2004 Golden coloured with some sweet honey flavours. Hoppy, crisp and slightly dry. Lasting malt finish.

Cask Conditioned at The White Lion, Fewcott. Golden orange colour with creamy head. The flavour is totally dominated by caramel, dry, chalky and caramel. Really couldn't get much else out of it.
