Cask conditioned gravity dispense Northants Beer Festival 2011. A chestnut brown mild with white bubbles atop. Chocolate and nut in the aroma. Chocolate and fruit in the mouth. Good sweetness and a nice mild.

Cask at Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours clear, pure gold with a foamy white head. Mostly dark berries in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with some dark toast, light chocolate, mellow leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweetness to finish with dark toast, mild berries, leaves. Basic stuff. Fairly bland (even for a mild) but not offensive.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Festival. This was the winner of the best local mild for 2007. Personally I found it bland and watery even for a mild. Very pale colour for a mild. Too much tea and no character.

Cask at The Kings Head, The Chiltern Brewery pub Aylesbury, 21-03-08 Chesnut brown in colour with a a thin off white head. Tasted good and quite fruity with a nice tanginess about it. Nice blaance of sweetness and just some bitterness there. Caramel comes through and this isn’t a bad mild at all.
