2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 5, 2011 Cask at The Bear, Oxford, during my abortive attempt to follow the footsteps of the legendary Ratebeer Oxford Crawl of February, 2008. I didn’t get any further than this pub, Oxford’s oldest, which is a reflection on my sense of direction, rather than any criticism of this beer. Gold, faint citrus hop aroma. Nice grassy taste with a little soap. Slight bitterness. Decentish golden. 5.8.11 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. The ABV is now 3.7%. Cereal malt taste with sweetness and citric notes. Mid bitter. Quite good. Rating: 5,3,7,3,13:3.1

Gravity @ The Duchess of Cambridge. Medium amber color with a tiny white head. The nose is very faint grains and rainwater, some plum bread. The taste is light honey, some sugary breakfast cereal. The finish is faint urine and lemon acidity. Light tobacco. Overall, an OK beer. Somewhat subdued.

Drinking bottled version which was supermarket purchased (Waitrose) Very light aroma with hints of citrus. Taste is very dry (refreshingly so) & pleasantly strongly hoppy. Overall a very drinkable session beer.

Served from cask in Cowes. A golden color with a good head that fades to some lacing. Aroma of fresh fruit and a bit of malt sweetness. Has a nice citrus bite with some malty sweetness. A nice bitterness and a clean finish. Fairly light body, refreshing. Easy drinker, good session beer. Nice summer beer while relaxing in Cowes.

Bästa Godads alen. Mer citruskaraktär, mycket humle, frisk, krispig och en riktig törstsläckare.
