Cask@GBBF2009. Ambery colour, not much head. Aroma is hops, wood, fruits, flowery hops as well as some fudge, earth and mild parfume. Flavour is much of the same in a pleasant balance. Very drinkable APA.

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005 Golden coloured and hoppy with some sour fruit aroma. Slightly bitter finish.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A light caramel malt aroma with kight hopping. In mouth, a grassy malt with light crisp English hops, light citrus, medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, Inbièrenationale IV, May 2007.

Cask Conditioned Gravity Dispense GBBF 09. A light amber to ginger coloured beer with a ring of off-white bubbles. The aroma is piney with a hint of sweet malt just as you’d expect from an APA. Nice clean hoppy flavours in the mouth. Pine and spruce and a bit of prickle.

Cask (gravity) at GBBF 2009, Day 1. Listed simply as Opa Opa Pale Ale but the ABV is the same as this one so I guess this is the right one. Dry-hopped with Centennial. Amber colour. Lovely pungent floral hops on the nose, no doubt accentuated by the dry-hopping. It does fall off a little on the palate as Silk suggests but my scoring starts from a higher baseline so I still found it very tasty, with plenty of aromatic hop character backed up with just enough pale malt to provide necessary balance. A particularly appealing and enjoyable beer. I particularly enjoyed Silk’s suggestion that Sim might want to use this as perfume.

A Mes rate. Gravicask at GBBF.
Yellow amber colour with no head. Really good fresh piney hops with a decent earthy malt base. Hints of peach and grapefruit. Big fruity finish with some slight peat. Nice enough beer but nothing outstaning.
