3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A Mes rate. Gravicask at National Winter Ale festival. Hazy dark gold with a thin white head and plenty of condition. Excellent fruity malt and good spicy hop aroma. Similar flavour but the hops come right upfront with plenty of citrus and a very pleasing dry bitter finish that has great length. Superb balance, it’s pitched just right. Bloody good stuff and very well made. I love the Crown, looks like I’m going to love their beer too.
