All Chiltern beers have a particular flavour and this is no exception. The brewery never used to use much in the way of aroma hops and all hops were added at beginning of boil, which I guess is still the case. Hence flavour profile a bit of a flat line. Still a decent session beer though.

Cask conditioned at The Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks. Amber with white head. Quite a flowery aroma and flavour, sweetish, lightly hopped with a tartish fruity back note. Struggled against the Pearl I had previously. Ordinary.

Cask, gravity at Luton BF ’10. Amber with a small white head. Very faint sweet aroma. Taste was grassy with a mid bitter finish. Not at all bad, if a bit one dimensional.

’Bitter’ isnt my style . Thiz waz bought @ the brewery for me and a take away in a container. Not much to reflect . Subdued but i got hints of customs of apple and dryness. Sure iz malty and caramelly. Go figure.

[Cask at brewery shop] Slight biscuity malt aroma and flavour, but unpleasantly bitter. Smooth and easy to drink, but in the end very bland and rather watery. Not great.

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.
