A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
A gorgeous golden blonde colour with an impressive white head and possibly the best conditioned beer of the festival. Fruity hoppage with lots of peach, a lovely note of liquorice and a pleasing dry, bitter finish. Lovely stuff.

Sep 21, 2008 Cask conditioned at Codshall Station, Codshall, Staffs. Orange gold with white head. Pretty straightforward golden Ale, slight buttery notes and a touch oily in the body, light restrained malts but not much hop action for me, all a little sweetish and light. It’s ok and drinkable without getting stuck in. Reasonable.
