Cask (handpump) at the Great Malvern Hotel, Great Malvern, May 2009. Clean golden ale. Quite dry. Some citrus. Nothing wrong with this but it didn’t really have enough happening to generate much interest. A pleasant enough quaffer though with a decent crisp mouthfeel.

Gravity, Solihull ’08. Musty green hop aroma. Dead and headless conditioning. Peanut husk bitterness, dusty lemony citrus, lingering intense bitterness. Not as fleshy as the Pictish, but plenty of hop presence. Dry pilsy bitterness to finish. Solid.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF.
Golden brown with a thin white rim. Slight sweetness from the good malt and a nice earthy feel. The hops come through really well in the finish making it really well balanced. Not brimming with complexity but drinks above it’s strength in a good way and is enjoyable overall.

Cask at GBBF 2008 This had a very nice soft malty flavour, clean tasting, good but not overpowering bitterness, some citrus on the nose and tasting stronger than it actually was.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask at GBBF ’08. Gold. Citric hop aroma with a piney quality that suggests the floor polish that Mrs H uses. Slightly buttery citric taste. Mid bitter finish. A beer which is more than the sum of its parts. I thought it was delicious.
