Half pint on tap at the Ship in Wokingham. Slightly opaque yellow/gold colour with a fair bubbly head. Nice grapefruit hopped aroma. Very bitter, fruity and dry. A bit too much so. Leaves you feeling thirsty - cunning ploy when there are other Fullers beers usually found in the same place?
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Real ale. Mild aroma has citrus, bit tropical fruits. Malt stays under this. Bit cloudy honey to copper, nice dense head is one finger and long and good lacing. Bitter slightly and fruity sweet, soft round fuller’s body, soft carbonation, creamy soft very good palate, nice soft finish, nuts. Looks good, smells nice, is velvety soft and full and leaves me wanting for more while still satisfied.

GBBF. Light haze on this gold beer, little white head. Light dry palate. Insipid hops - bit of marmalade. Light dry finish. Terrible use of these US hops. You are better than this Fullers - sort it ahhhhhht!

Gravicask (PBBF2012, Thurs) - listed as 4.2%
6+ Lots of barley, a little floral, not quite perfumey. A bit sulfury too, maybe a bit vegetal.
3 Pale, small head.
6+ Herbal and grassy hoppy body. After tasting, the aroma becomes more lemonadey.
4 Soft palate, carbonation low. Hoppy bitter finish, coats the mouth, resiny and sticky. There’s barley in the finish too, despite the hops trying to dominate.
14 Good pale coloured bitter.
