Draft. Clear gold beer. Light soft palate. A little sulphur on the nose and in the taste. Light citrus but the sulphur gets in the way.

2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Gravity cask at the battersea beer festival. Gold with no head. Fresh and malty with a modest saaz bitterness. Tastes top fermented to me?
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Kent Beer Fest, The Cow Shed, Canterbury. Very gold. A lager(ish) blonde cask beer. Modest character. Slightly sweet. Some green apple. OK for a lager-type cask beer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask gravity at Kent BF 08. Clear pale gold, thin off white head. Quite sharp lemon, ascetic hop aroma. A pretty light beer. I think brewed with an ale yeast rather than a lager, some Saaz on aroma. Light drinking, no poor flavours
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A Mes rate: Gravicask at Battersea Beer Festival.
Nice clean gold colour. Egg and diacetyl but it’s actually quite tollerable. Very cheesey. It’s actually quite drinkable though. Think I’ve gone a bit wrong in my mind tank.

Gravity cask @ Hants Bowman, Dundridge (21/07/05). Very fruity bubblegum flavours. Suprisingly little hop character. Sweet with almost no hop presence.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask conditioned & on Handpump at the Derby CAMRA winter beer festival on 09/02/05.
Clear straw yellow / brown colour.
Quite caramelly, dry & bitter. Very enjoyable. Not sure where the Czech connection comes in though...
