Apr 18, 2008 Cask at blackfriars Glasgow ... Crisp golden yellow ... sharp tart american hop nose ... full on sweet piney american hop ... packed full of flavour and wonderfully balanced. A great UK cask ale.

Apr 17, 2008 Cask in Blackfriars. Aroma is fruity, citrus and tropical fruit, hints of peppery alc notes, but nicely drinkable. Taste is similar, hoppy balanced fruity character and orange based cirtus finish.

Apr 16, 2008 Thanet Easter Beer Fest. The Winter Gardens, Margate. Mmmmm. Exotic fruit hit going into a dusty finish. Sweet malt. Light and delightful.

Mar 26, 2008 Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 08. Oakham’s is pretty much my favourite brewery in the country, so I was really looking forward to this. Which is why I was surprised that I gave it a lowish score. Even trying it the next day, I wasn’t won over. Hazy pale gold colour with bubbly beige head. Very nettley and ascetic hoppy blond beer. It’s got a bit of harshly citric nettle flavour which I wasn’t too keen on. Bit soapy too. Must be just about my lowest scored Oakham beer I think.

Mar 25, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Planet Thanet 2008.
Semi cloudy gold with a slim white head. Big grassy and aromatic, almost oily hoppage are the story of the day. A great combination of sharp US and some UK hops with big fruity citric notes. Typically lovely Oakham mouthfeel. Bloody bloody good.
