A Mes rate: Gravicask at The Pembury
Golden brown with an oily film topping. Woody with a good malt and hop balance and some nice fruitiness in the finish. Delicate but pleasing aged character to the aroma. Straight forward but very enjoyable.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Chelmsford Beer Festival on 15 July 2011. Very surprised to find I hadn’t reviewed this before. Orange / copper colour. Excellent condition. A decent standard best bitter. More malt than hop in evidence. Some caramel. Clean enough but a touch grainy for my taste. Fine, but there are more exciting beers in the Castle Rock stable.
