A Mes rate: gravicask at Ealing beer festival.
Beautiful copper / amber colour with a thin but lasting off white head. Big resinous hops and marzipan. An odd blend but it works for sure. Assertive and fruity. Very dry and dusty but creamy at the same time. Can’t not like this one even though I know it shouldn’t work.

Cask gravity at Ealing BF 2009. Copper, slight haze. It’s not a bad hoppy beer. Decent bitter with good hops. Dryish. Almost gingerish on the hops. It’s ok, bit earthy.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at the Falstaff, Derby. Copper with a thin cream head; fruity malt aroma; and rich fruity roasted malt flavour; finish is gently bitter and sweet. Not bad for a first attempt.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Good-looking copper with a solid off-white cover. Caramelly and earthy toasted malts are well extracted and foam a fine background on which are added some rather generic hops. Pretty weak flavour association in mouth, leading nowhere. Medium bodied, astringent and overly grainy, husky even.
