Gravity, 3rd Hinckley BF. Huge departure from the Oakham, but another decent pale brew. Orange amber, fine white skim and lace. Crushed digestive aroma with mildewed choc and mushroom. Big fresh malty sweetness, cheesecake, almond, toast. Underlying hop grassiness with apricot, then some cherry-flavoured boiled sweets showing up. Very decent vanilla and digestive afters. Length and layered malt depth beyond its strength. Didn’t realise it was from Chippenham- point deducted. Good.

Cask@GBBF2010. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is earthy, vegetably, a bit mouldy and slightly hayish. Flavour is wood, vegetables, some earth and mild vegetably notes.

From cask. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is slight herbal to grassy hoppy, mild citrusy note. Sweet malty, mild citrusy and vague bitterness. Ends dry and bitter.

Cask conditioned at The Lamb & Flag, Oxford. Gold with white head. Light and delicate bitter with a grainy feel about it. Crisp light hops with a slightly earthy note. A touch resinous in the close. Pretty good.
