Rather blonde for a seasonal beer like this. Fruity and malty and RCH house taste. Are they using lager hops (saaz?) for this?

Cask gravity dispense at Blakes, Dover December 2004. Ruby colour with thinnish head. This ale has some good malt and not bad for a Christmas seasonal
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber colour. Malty aroma. Sweetish palate, with subtle fruit and some dry malt coming through late, together with a little bitterness. Low hop profile. Not very Christmassy, more like an autumnal best bitter. OK, but not that much happening. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London.

Gravity @ the Pigs Ear Festival, East London, 2003.
Slightly lighter shade of gold. Refreshing hoppiness. I have noted that I was really struggling at this point in the festival but was on the improve. Coach home all the way by SilkT.

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2009 Dec, 2003 Gravity fresh @ Pig’s Ear Festival, East London. Light fruit aroma - slight hint of Marris Otter. Scintillating fresh rush of citric tones softly backed by a gentle pale malt sweetness. A restrained bitterness. A pleasant fruity bitter. [3.1]
Dec, 2009 JDW, Rochester. Pale and dusty hoppy. Quite dry with a faint pineapple fruit. Nice enough. [3.0]
