cask at bow bar ... golden amber ... white head ... soft dull lemon peeel ... juicy fruits ... juicy peels ... ok

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Rich golden pour with a small, white head. Baked malts on the nose with grass and citrus hop. Flavor is nicely sweet, sugar and honey, light bread, quite bitter with citrus rind, weeds and heavy grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes sweet at first with lasting hops on the tongue. Very dirty, grapefruit and earthy grass. Great beer.

Cask handpull at Wetherspoons, Leeds. Bit of blueberry/raspberry on aroma. Deep brown colour. Nice mouthfeel. Good ESB. Full, rounded, good malty flavours, some dryness on end.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Sussex Beer Festival.
Mid golden brown with no head. Malty aroma with a little diacetyl. Bland malty flavour with a straight forward bitter finish and a lingering dusty aftertaste.
