Cask conditioned at The Salutation inn, Nottingham. Gold with slight head. Quite a sulphery, dry bitter with cereal malts, a touch of corn in the background. Some hop in the finish, enough to make it worthwhile and a touch of yeasiness. it’s fine without being outstanding.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF. Standard gold looks with a decent white head. Farty hop aroma. Fruity flavour with some slight wheat and hops. Dry finish. Not too great.

Cask. Deep golden colour, big white creamy head. Aroma is really eggy and yeasty with some minor flowery hints. Flavour is fruits, yeast, hops and some earth.
