HarryFlashman (469) - Chatham, Kent, ENGLAND - JUN 25, 2007
This got some good ratings here, but I aint a big fan. Nice and fruity, but a touch bland and tasteless. Not in the same league as other Hopdaemon numbers such as Incubus and Skrimshander.

Great hoopy pale ale - I love this stuff - I just wish it were a tad more bitter like the original ! A great local standard ale!

MesandSim (7118) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 8, 2007
A Mes rate: Gravicask @ Planet Thanet. Excellent stuff. Hoppy nose with slight vanilla. Lovely herbaciousness to the hoppy flavour which finishes with a hit of malt and then some awesome floral hops. Straight forward but beautiful.

Strong citrus, floral hop nose. Clear golden copper with low, large-bubbled, long lasting head. Toasty cereal malt flavour with floral and leafy hops in the fresh, clean flavour. Medium bitterness. Very well balanced. Medium body with fairly soft, effervescence. Cask at GBBF 2005.
