(020508) Mes_and_Sim (4487), Highgate, Greater London, England May 6, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival. Solid gold with a slim white head and excellent condition. Peaty, earthy and slightly sweet. Light tobacco and dust. Excellent grassy hops balanced with dryish earthy maltage. Possibly just a little too sweet but I love the almost iodine character from the peaty notes in the finish. Solid stuff from Milton. Svesse (1818), Hässelby, Sweden May 3, 2008 (Cask at Oakdale Arms, Harringay, London, 24 April 2008) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with citrus, apricots and fresh notes of grassy hops. Malty, fruity, clean taste with notes of citrus and a dry, hoppy, grassy finish (almost leaning in the german pilsner direction). Some malt sweetness in the middle. Nice and very refreshing.
