COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This tasty ale is light in colour, yet strong in flavour, with a wondeful hoppy aroma and citrus flavour, with just a hint of sweet malt in the finish. It is a thirst-quenching yet well-rounded beer, proving that a lower strength can still be big on taste. Hops used: Challenger, Glacier, Saaz.

<i>A Mes rate: gravicask at The Junction Tavern.</i>
Pale gold. Clean as a whistle. No head. Superb nettley hop aroma with gorgeous grassy notes, faint hints of lemon and ganja held up by a lightly sweet malty backbone. A bloody good smell. Flavour... this is what I love so much about British beer. Not brash or bold, just a quintessential drop of cask ale lovliness. I could drink this all day. Wonderfully grassy, excellent mineral notes and delicate citric accents. Utterly superb British hop bitterness in the finish with a lip smacking dryness. Each sip leaves me wanting more. Damn good beer.

Cask @ Akkurat. Very light yellow colour. No head. Almost no aroma at all. Some mild tones of yeast and bread, that´s all. Nice flavor of yeast and orange. Fruity. And with a good bitterness in the after taste. Smooth and well balanced.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pale yellow. Fres zesty orangey nose. Dryish and light bodied soft and vital with loads of orangey hops atop the inviting slender grainy malt. finishes with lingering bitterness. A glorious light ale that makes me think of Dark Star Hophead.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 10 Oct 2008) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of lemon, grapefruit and fresh grass. Fruity taste with citrus, lemon, tropical fruit and generous doses of citrussy, grassy hops in the finish. A hint soapy. Fairly thin body, but nice and fresh session ale.
