<i>Cask conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London</i>
Blond color. The aroma is very nice, mild, quite earthy and a bit flowery, honey too; good English hops, persistent. Some malt flavor and a good bitterness, moderately sweet, well balanced. In the final there is something like glue, interesting, with quality hops traces. Very good.

<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.

Hamilton Hall Spoons. Cloudy gold beer. Residual white head. Light palate, slightly crisp and semi dry. Okay pale malt supports good hops. A little tangy orange - tangerine and a nice peach note. Finishes dry with mild hop bitterness. Refreshing!

(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.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear golden colour with a low thick white foam. Mild aroma of lemony and grassy hops. Light-bodied with dryish crispy notes of lemon-zest, grapefruit, grass and minerals. Medium to high bitter finish of grapefruit and grass. A tasty and mean little quaffer.
