Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Orange/gold with thin beige head. Dusty/blackberry aroma. Acidic blackberry in mouth, juicy sharp blackberry on finish. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very tasty and I love the fruit.

Aug 13, 2008 Cask at Ealing beer fest. Aroma is one of the best in the beer world, super blackberry tart, really fruity and awsome. Taste however has some artifical character which deters it from being truly great. Could honstly be the best fruit beer ever made with a little more work.

Jul 22, 2008 Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 (actually had this on the Thursday 17th) Poured mid/warm golden with white head. Blackberry was what shone through in the aroma and this was also was very noticeable in the mouth along with a nice fresh crispness and decent fruity body, I rather liked this but felt that more than a pint and it could become a bit wearing and too sweet, still interesting and rather nice.

Jul 21, 2008 Cask conditioned at Merton Summer B.F ’08. Amber with white head. Ah yes, blackberry, most definitely, sweet, fruity, pulpy berry on a reasonably chunky malt body. I just cannot get fruit beers like this, so I’ll leave it to those who do.

Jul 9, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.
Bright, clean golden brown with a thin white head and in very good condition. Obvious blackberry in the aroma with some excellent grassy and floral hops on a good fruity malt base. Sadly the blackberry becomes really artificial once in the mouth. It over powers everything and gives it a full on sherbert kick that could have been so much better. Such a shame after the aroma.
