On gravity at the Wellington, Bristol 29/05/10. Deep copper in colour with a small white head. Sweetish malt aroma with plenty of citrus hops. Caramel malt flavours, with a touch of red fruit and plenty more citrus hops in the finish. An excellent bitter.

bottle. Hazy deep amber-yellow golden colour with a medium-sized head. Fruity and malty with lovely hints of caramel, roasted malt and caramalt.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.
Dark amber with a thin rim of white foam. A nice combination of sweet toffee and some bitter hops. Decent citric finish. A straight down the line but solid English bitter.

gravicask @ kingston bf 08. Malty, fresh, floral nose. Dark mahogany colour. Flavour is light, of toffee, caramel and bread. Easy drinking. sweet strange malt aftertaste with just a tad of hop.

UPDATED: NOV 4, 2007 Bottled. Surprised to see the ratings are so low for this one. Glowy red-orange with an impressively heaped head/ and drapes of lace. Aromatic and rocky. Juicy Turkish Delight hop fruitiness in the nose (Cascade), floral and beckoning. Murderously bitter tonic water/grapefruit hoppiness easily the equal of XX Bitter, Orval or Goose Island IPA -benchmarks of the kind of hop dryness I’ve a weakness for. Not much else going on, but this is a big, clean, refreshing and uncompromisingly hopped bitter Bitter, with character far outstripping its modest strength. Completely one-dimensional, but what the hell? Would actively seek out again.

VEry bitter, but not extremely annoying as others. IT has a sweet floral aroma, but not too much, which let learn this has a lot of Hops in it, at least high.

Cask Stillage at the Howcroft Inn, Bolton 11/10/2003 as Sutton Plymouth Pride Amber coloured slightly rich and sweet on the palate. Some bitterness in a malt finish.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. A mid brown coloured bitter with some fruit in the otherwise indistinguished aroma. The taste has a straw bitterness but is a bit one-dimensional and boring. I understand the brewery is called South Hams now but the pumpclip used was the Sutton one.

Cask Conditioned at The Woodman, North Leigh, Oxon. Brown amber beer with thin head. Sweet fruity bitter, some spiciness, a little like a brown sauce. Hoppy bitter finish, but sweetness also stays on the tongue.

UPDATED: DEC 26, 2009 As Sutton Plymouth Pride. Mid/dark amber colour. Hoppy/fruity nose. Some sweetish tones on the palate, but balancing bitterness too. Fruity/bitter finish. More body than might be expected from a session bitter of this strength. Handpump, The Speaker, London SW1, December 2003.
