COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available in pasteurised bottle.
In a class of its own, there is no denying the pedigree of this beer. National award winning brewer, Nick Stafford, has created a recipe of subtle bitterness and aromatic finish that will be repeated for generations. This wonderfully smooth drinking beer began life as an 'Autumn Special'. It was immediately the most popular special we had produced. Aroma hops give a delicacy and subtlety to the robust full-bodied flavour. Straw coloured.

A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF.
Yellow gold with a thin bubbly rim. Diacetyl ridden and full of bready malt. Shocking stuff and well out of order.

imdownthepub (7494) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 14, 2003
Cask at Charlbury Beer Festival. Orange, light amber colour. Strong chemical flavour, rather like demestos. Over astringent, not pleasant.
