MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 7, 2009
A Mes rate: cask at the Crescent.
Hazy yellow gold with a thin white head and lots of lace. Good wheaty lemony hoppy stuff, very bright and citric. Good bitter finish and very downable. Had a half of this while I was waiting for the rest of the crew to make it over from ""The Best Place Ever Ever in the World"" good start to the day and exactly what I needed to get my taste buds going.

cgarvieuk (8654) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JUL 21, 2009
Ok... in a departure from normal rating... due to the INCREDIBLY high number of BLOND ales during the Shefiled trip that all blended into one another im breaking them down into three catagories

Catagory A : Golden Yellow ... light fruity lemon hop nose ... soft dull light lemon hop

Catagory B : Amber ... light dry lemon hop ... soft light lemon hop with a little malt in background

Catagory C : Amber ... soapy lemon nose ... light brigh lemon hop

Catagory D : Amber ... light grassy lemon hop ... dry grassy lemon hop

Catagory E : Amber ... light grapefruit hop ... again light hop with a little grapefruit

This is a Catagory A @ the Star festival Hudersfield
