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.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask (handpump) at the Shakespeares Head (JDW), Holborn, August 2009. Fairly pale for a bitter - gold rather than amber. Good condition. Some grassy hops in the aroma. Dry and fairly bitter on the palate. Not packed with flavour. Clean enough mouthfeel. OK but a bit nondescript really. - a fairly basic bitter.
