Gravity Cask @ Reading Beer Festival 07. Initial hoppy leafy nose with pleasant malts in the mouth. I didn’t catch the smoke. For some reason I thought this was a sensible ale that William Cobbett would probably have approved off, at least its better than tea.

Cask at the Ball and Wicket, Farnham. Golden amber with a thick white head; fruity hop aroma; crisp citrus flavour, with honey and perhaps a hint of wood smoke. Fresh lightly bitter finish.

A Mes rate: Gravicask @ Reading Beer Festival. Murky muddy brown colour. Alcoholic nose and very little else going on. Flavour is very citric yet has clear smoky malt. Very unusual and I just cant make my mind up if it works. Citric notes at the finish also. Very interesting if not a complete winner.
