Sampled by handpull at Everard’s The Beacon, Loughborough. Golden colour, very clear. As the name suggests, very malty in flavour. Strong surges of yeast, slight fruity notes, bitter taste.

Hand pulled at the Queen Victoria, Syston, Leics. Gold, yes - but it’s a Bitter. Really bad burnt/melted plastic flavour. Could not finish. Nice mouthfeel though!

A Mes rate:
Gravicask @ Planet Thanet. Hazy golden colour no head what so ever. Hoppy uninviting nose. Watery nondescript strangeness with some bacon fat and a long long nasty finish. Watery palate. Awful, easily the worst of the festival for me.

Cask (handpull) at Derby Winter Beer Festival 2005. Yum. Dark gold with a thick creamy head, the malty tag’s a bit faulty as there’s more sublime fruit and hopped goodness here, good bitter backwash, very enjoyable and certainly beer of the session.
