Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF 2007. A golden coloured beer with some off-white bubbles for a head. The aroma is nicely hoppy with citrus fruits, mostly oranges. A really inviting nose. The taste is also nicely hoppy with good malts making the body good and the taste sbalanced. A very good example of an IPA.

A Mes rate:
Gravicask at GBBF. Straw coloured and thick. Very grassy and hoppy aroma with a slight sweetness. Similar flavour but it works really well. Maybe just a slight soapy note from the aggressive hops. Not particularly balanced but it works pretty well for me.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
sampled on tap at the brewery. This is an English IPA Aroma is floral, earthy English hops, not much malt detected in the nose. Taste is moderately bitter but clean, with alot of floral hop character with some light notes of English malts in the background. A tiny bit thin on the palate but very drinkable.
