2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask conditioned at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. Brown with faint white head. As miserable as the days cricket unfortunately. The GK taste, cold tea, caramel, souriish apple, a chap on our table reckoned it had been through 2 other peoples bladder before it got to us. Poor.

A Mes rate: gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.
Amber with a thin white film. Actually it’s remarkably tolerable. Some GK caramel but not overlyfull of apple as you would expect. Some fairly decent earthy malt in the background. Lots of sugary sweetness and oh yeah, there’s the apple in the finish. GK but a little better... but still shite.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Ealing Beer Festival, July 2009. I was only driven to rate this by the paucity of new beers on offer. Honest. Actually, it’s not that bad. Amber/copper colour. Reasonable balance of biscuity malt and earthy hops. Just a straightforward bitter. A rather dull one to be sure but largely inoffensive.
