A Mes rate. Gravicask at London Drinker.
Slightly hazy dirty gold colour with a faint off white collar. Boarderline 2. Very medicinal and a slight sour feel. Faint fruit and alcohol, not a good sign from a 4.1% beer. Unbrewed malt, tea and apple in the finish. Not great.

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’09. Gold with white head. Drunk whilst guarding the gate at BBF and very pleasant it was too, the sun was shining and everyone had a smile on their face just as you do when going to a Beer festival. Good bittersweet hoppiness with a slightly fuller golden body, some caramalisation and good biscuity depth. Good beer and good times.
