Cask ... copper coloured ... toffee malt nose ... fruity toffee ... little hop in its base ... easy drinkin.

Cask, The Highcross, Leicester. Hazy gold with a small head. Aromas are spicy and peppery with soft citrus. Some nuttiness with yeast and peppery hops. Flavours are dry biscuit malts with some buttery notes. Spicy with citrus. Dry on the finish with pith bitterness.

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Gold with no head. Pretty average dry malty bitter, bready notes atouch of yeast, but to bland to get excited about. Pretty ordinary.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 30/3/08. Deep golden colour with a moderate white head. Aroma of sweet malt and grassy hops. Flavour had some more sweetness, along with ginger and nutmeg spices and a decent dry finish. Drinkable.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Sussex Beer Festival.
Golden brown colour with a thin white rim. Nice balance of malt and hops in the aroma with a delicate sweetness and slight bready notes. Similar flavour, a little bland but with a nice ginger spice note on a dry finish. So so.

good old bog standard bottle i bougt from threshers, and thats what it is too. Orang in colour, malty and hoppy in the nose and mouth. Extremly unoffensive.

500ml bottle, 26th Feb 2008. Orangey amber colour, citrus, malt and hops on the nose and in the flavour. Decent finish - an enjoyable enough ale.

Cask handpull at Simple Simons, Canterbury. Gold, thin beige head. Earthy perfumey bitter. bit of interesting peach on the aroma and nice hops. Walnutty too towards the finish. Fine.
