Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
OG 1038. Excellent quaffing ale - light and refreshing. Designed as an aperitif or as a drink on its own. Relatively light in colour, with a creamy smoothness, it has a good definition on the palate and a refreshing, cleansing finish.
When this beer was launched in 1980 it was the first commercially brewed new beer in Buckinghamshire since the war. The beer takes its name from the brewery.

Cask@Nottingham Beer Festival 2007. Amber beer with a lightly toffee and hopped aroma, and a lightly hopped and mildly dry flavour. Overall an average beer.

A Mes rate: Gravicask @ Reading Beer Festival. Run of the mill bitter with very little character but drinkable enough. Really I just can’t be bothered.

Cask (gravity dispense) at the brewery. Pale amber colour. Hints of apple in the aroma. Lots of dry malt and assertive bitterness on the palate. Finishes very dry and crisp. Certainly not a big beer but an excellent session bitter.

Cask conditioned, Chiltern Brewery, Terrick, Bucks. Malty with plenty of aroma hops and sour/bread notes and a bitter aftertaste. Very good.
