(Gravity cask at The Rake, Southwark, London, 21 April 2012) Golden amber colour with brief, white head. Fruity, malty nose with peaches, biscuits and tropical fruit. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, apricots, biscuity malt and a slightly grassy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Well balanced and quite nice.

Medium yellow clear pours with no head. Spicy aroma with hints of coffee. Medium taste with no hints of dryness or sweetness. Hints of mustard and oats.

Cask (gravity) @ The 17th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2011, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear medium yellow - amber orange colour with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, acidic malt. Flavor is moderate sweet, light light acidic and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. Flaged as try again ! [20110429]

Pale amber with almost no head, honey and a little orange on the head plus something faintly floral and maybe heathery. An initially sweet mouthfeel with notes of honey and a hint of pepper, bread and vegetable very quickly turns bitter and drying, the astringent, slightly acrid and peppery, taste lasting on the palate.

Half, from cask (gravity)@The Rake, London. Thin blond top. Clear deep brownish golden body. Discreet aroma of soft grainy malts, some apple-fruitiness and peaches. Taste is soft and clean. Medium malt body, slight spicy and peppery. Earthy bittering hops for balancing. Slick texture. Fruity endnotes. Drinks good.

Draught (in June 08). Amber. Some hop aroma. Light body and carbonation. Taste of grains, especially, with some fruitiness (apples) and hops.

gravicask at ealing bf 08. nose of spicy apples with a hint of cardamom. deep golden colour, big bubbly head. Sweet herbal start, strong bitter middle, medium body, well balanced, loverly bitter finish. very good pint.

Cask at Ealing beer fest. Notes get pritty special here and start to discribe either Duff, or a super hero of types, but the words solid bitter start off, then it his some sort of peppery pale malts, a bonnie bag of bonnie hops seem to help the banter out and make a balance similar to super man with me in one hand and the angry fist of a punishing god in the other. Good times.

Handpulled cask at Red Lion, Isleworth. Gold with a foaming off-white head. As the name suggests this is a malt accented beer and hops were barely detectable to me. However, this is still an interesting, well brewed ale which I will definitely try again.

Cask gravity at Ealing Beer Festival 2008. Gold, thin bubbly off white head. Little bit of sulphur on aroma, but the malts are good. It’s actually a really satisfying best bitter. Good fullness. Nice bitterness which lasts on the finish.
