Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
A pale brown beer with plenty of pleasing malt and hop flavour despite the low gravity. Unputdownable!

Cask at 3 Judges. A dark amber beer with a large cream head. The aroma is pale malts, bready and sawdust. Flavour is sweet malts with caramel and bread with a massively dry bitter finish. Almost paracetemol bitter. Good for a bitter but not my thing.

Cask at Dronning Louise, Esbjerg. A hazy dark golden beer with a huge cream colored head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw and brewmash. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as lighter notes of alcohol and metal - is the metal due to the fact that the cask has been open for 3 days? The finish is bitter and metallic.

Dark brown to amber coloured beer with a thick white head. Bready malt aroma. Flavor is dry and hoppy, with hints of citrus fruit. Too watery in the finish.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.
Amber colour with a thin off white head and good condition. Very grassy and floral with some good caramel malt and nice spice. Well balanced. Straight forward and slightly boring but solid and drinkable.

Tasted at Chelmsford beer festival 08. Citrus nose with dry hops, Found this to be a bit one-dimensional
