Cask at the CASK Pub & Kitchen on 2 August 2010. Clear gold with thin white lacing head. Fruity and floral aromas. Notes of elderflower, fruits and a late burst of peanut nuttiness during the main flavour crescendo. Grass and floral hop abound in the finish, on a zingy mouthfeel.

Cask (handpull) at Thornbridge Hall Garden Party, 2009. It’s elderflower and then moreso; so fresh in the aroma that it takes on an almost peppery edge, the flavour is anchored by an assured malt base though the flavour still itches. Sat in the splendid gardens of Thornbridge Hall with the sun on my back, Craven Silk proved itself to be a barnstorming summer beer.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 MesandSim (7118) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 3, 2009
A Mes rate: cask at the Fat Cat. Bright light gold with a thin but lasting white head and lots of condition. Huge elderflower hand in hand with some very good hops and held up really well by some excellent earthy malt. Ian’s right, it’s almost gingery with the excessive elderflower. Typically drinkable for a Thornbridge beer. Good stuff.

Cask in the fat cat. Alround rating: Massive elderflower peppery character, dry and grasy, bitter floral pwepperyness. Quite different but its not really my deal.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 thewolf (9992) - Kolding, DENMARK - JUL 25, 2009
[RBESG, Sheffield]
Cask @ The Fat Cat, Sheffield.
Pours slightly hazy golden with a fine, staying, off-white film head. Aroma is sweet, some clear elderflowers and flowery hops. Medium, prickly carbonation, fine and light mouthfeel. Flavour is rather sweet, lots of elderflowers. Light flowery dry bitterness in the finish. Fresh, but just a bit too much elderflowers for me.
