Jul 9, 2007 Gravity, Merton Beer Festival. Warm copper, a nice cap of fine white. Rich tawny marmalade--a nice lower pitched, perfumey aroma. A pinch of cinnamon. Softly orange hop flavor, just enough pithiness to give a nice drying texture to the finish. Beautifully integrated malty sweetness. A superbly crafted beer I could be happy drinking all afternoon. Quiver seems to be Bowman’s star, but for my money, I like this.

Jul 9, 2007 Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06-07-07. Poured standard brown colour with nice bubbly white head. Some toffee mixed with fruit perhaps a touch on the sweet side but really very nice and would be a pleasant session beer.

Jul 8, 2007 Cask conditioned at Merton Beer Festival ’07. Chestnut with white head. Pleasant fruity beer, sweetish honeyed plum with a toffee caramel background. Good sweet malty finish.

May 15, 2007 A Sim rate (Cask at Reading Beer Festival): Weird but really good. Apricot and plum in the aroma with barley malt and honey. Flavour hits you with fruit and alcohol. Slight toffee caramel notes. Nice amber copper colour. Lovely.

May 11, 2007 <b>Apr 07</b> Cask conditioned @ Guide Dog, Soton. Darkish brown. Malty rounded toffee and a hint of vanilla. Moderate sweetness with mild hop on the finish. Not really to my taste but fairly drinkable. To be fair I dont think this was in perfect condition.
