COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask, Occasional;
A draft cask conditioned Pilsner-style lager brewed in the traditional way. A well balanced beer, light in colour, with an aromatic finish. Runner Up in Camra 2005 Hereford Beer of The Festival. Vincent Priessnitz was a Silesian peasant who, in 1882, enacted a self cure for broken ribs by wrapping himself in bandages doused in cold mountain water. Priessnitz invented Hydropathy, one of a number of ’alternative’, or more properly ’heterodox curative systems’ popularised in the early nineteenth century in the Malvern Hills.

Bottle shared with Loz, Jan & Charlotte Sun 23rd Oct 2011 at home. I purchased this at the Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire summer 2011 Pours gold with a busy carbonation and a bubbly white head. Touch metallic in mouth and the bitterness is quite rough at times, little grassy, very gassy, some hoppy burps, its ok. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov12 3.2

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 9, 2009
A Mes rate. Gravicask at Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Clean gold with a faint brown hue and a thin white collar. Unimpressive aroma that is boardering on chlorine with a little wheat. So so at best. The flavour is far better. A straight forward but very tasty cask lager. Great level of bitterness. Lovely and dry on the palate. Straight forward goodness that the English public should be supping by the gallon.

Rastacouere (5923) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 29, 2007
A headless, mostly clear straight golden ale that shows some light vegetal tones and plays the soft floral hop tune at a very low volume. Pretty sweet on the palate and not without wateriness. Limited bitterness of a grassy nature. A bland take on the style.
