A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
Gold coloured with no head. Big peach and tangerine notes from the hops. Nice bitter finish with a tiny bit of sweet malt. Not bad, just lacking a bit of character.

May 2, 2008 Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 2/5/08. Pale amber coloured with a slight white head. Aroma of citrus, light spicing and grain. Light mouth feel with a hint of spicing, sweet malt and some citrus hops in the finish. Enjoyable.

Jun 11, 2006 Updated: Dec 17, 2006Cask (handpump) at The Bell, Bath, April 2006. Bright, clear amber colour. Light citric aroma. Dry, crisp and fresh. I thought it had a slightly wheaty character. Perhaps it is a clear wheat beer? There’s no huge depth here but its a nice refreshing pint. Doesn’t taste 5%. [Update - There’s now a description on the brewery website and it is a wheat beer, although I can’t say I picked out the spices too clearly, so I think its somewhere between an American Wheat and a Belgian Wit in style.]
