MesandSim (7118) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 7, 2009
A Mes rate: cask at the KIT.
Clean gold with a white film topping. Lots of bready malt with some faint hoppage right at the top. Hops come through a little more in the flavour actually but they’re held back by the sweet malt and don’t really get the chance to sing. Bitter finish makes it seem a little better than it is.
