Aug 29, 2007 Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is earth, wood and some slight fruityness. Flavuor is the same. Quite boring brew.

Aug 13, 2007 A Mes rate:
Gravicask at GBBF. Dark golden colour with no head. Malty aroma with some tea. Wheaty flavour with a dry bitter finish that gives it a bit of bite. Rather dull elsewhere.

Aug 3, 2007 Cask handpull at Ribs of Beef, Norwich. Copper, slight haze, off white head. It’s a slightly earthy, slightly citrusy session bitter. Quite a good dusty earthy finish though, gives it some character. Fine.
