Cask@St. Albans BF. When a beer says that it has cascades in it, i want it to actually taste of cascades, not just have a slight hint of it. Grainy pale malt, something dusty in the mouthfeel, with not much cascade in the finish. Boring.

Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival, September 2007. Pale gold colour, slightly hazy. No head. Plenty of cascade character here I though (in UK terms). Flowery aroma. Strong grapefruit presence on the palate. More tart than bitter so the mouthfeel is not particularly firm. Otherwise, very tasty for a 3.6% beer.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at St. Albans Beer Festival. Very bright golden yellow colour with a slight head. Floral and hoppy, really nice hoppage in fact, a little tangy, chalky feel. Bitter yet creamy finish. Decent stuff.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Hazy gold, thin beige head. Cascadey golden beer, a little chalky in mouth, floral cascadey aroma. Nice up front, disappointing in mouth, but it has got nice leafy nettley hop.
