A Mes rate: gravicask at the Bricklayers.
A reasonably clean bright gold colour with a good white head and lace and in excellent condition. Awesome big and fruity green hop juice aroma. Citric and floral, amazingly fresh and full of Cascade. More glorious fresh C hoppage in the mouth. Nice and floral, good bitterness and really well balanced thanks to the slightly sweet, bready malt. Nice dusky bitter finish. A straight forward, yet excellent drop of English.
