3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 3, 2009
A Mes rate: gravicask at the Bricklayers Yorkshire fest. Golden brown with a thin white film. Dullish wheat and malt aroma, faint bitter hoppage along with a bit of leather and tobacco. Lots of leaft hop in the flavour with some faint green tea and a little unbrewed malt. A little too green and uneventful but decent enough overall.
