A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
pale gold colour. Lip smacking citric hops with some good earthy malt and a bitter finish. It’s a Crouch Vale golden ale, does exactly what it says on the tin. Not their best but still jolly good stuff.

cask at paisley beer fest, pours blonde nose is spicey like a gewertztraminer grapefruit, honey flower, spice pepper and other. taste all equals the nose but is a bit watery for my taste on the palate. great spicyness to this ale though.

Cask at paisley beer fest. Alround rating: Everything i expect from a crouch vale beer, citrusy pale malt goodness. One of the few beers i had a pint of. The other beer brewers gold and amarillo.

Cask at The Wenlock Arms. Citrus hop aroma. Misty gold color with white head. Great citrus start, turns a bit towards stone fruit, malt barely detectable. Nice, semi-dry, bitter finish.

Cask, Peterborough Fest 06. Bright gold with a small head. Aromas are fruity and hoppy with pine. Lots of mellow lemon with sweet hops. Flavours are spritzy lemon and apricot and pear. Light toasty malts with a light dry, bitter finish.

More than just a Golden, it had some special and nice features. The foam is good and the way I like it.
