4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle - Fantastic zesty, lemony aroma as soon as the lid came off. Poured clear with a small frothy head. Good malt base with wonderful aromatic hop flavours with a slight hint of sweetness. A good dry finish.
I would agree with a previous reviewer that this is right up there in terms of taste and quality with some Thornbridge’s best. Would love to try this on cask.

Gravicask (CWAF2013, Fri)
Mandarin aroma, zesty. Refreshing session bitter. Fresh citrus taste. Lovely finish of citrus, hint of lemon, bit of peach. Good stuff, and a great golden - right alongside Thornbridge and Oakham’s best. And at 3.7% it’s a true session ale. I recommended this to many punters, and they all were very grateful!

Gravity Dispense at Pig’s Ear BF, London - 05/12/12.
Clear pale golden with a minimal white head that clears to the edge and forms a small pond.
Nose is hops, light citrus, pale malt, lemon drizzle cake, touch of lemon sherbet.
Taste follows, sweetish sugar notes, some bitterness in with the lemon and sugars.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish.
Decent drop.
