Commercial Description:
Cask; Occasional. Has also been available in bottle.
Harvest Zest is a unique flavour combination of exciting malts, hops and fruit. This beer is brewed with malted barley, oats, wheat and rye, and to impart a little "zest" grapefruit peel is added to the mash. The flavours combine tremendously well to give a smooth, well balanced citrus style beer. A beer with appeal to more than just the main stream premium ale drinker.

Tasted in 2002. A dark, yellowy golden beer with a weak white head. The nose is of sweet roasted malt and toasted wheat with just a hint of lemon in the finish. The taste is of a wonderfully smooth hoppiness, the toasted wheat and malt are present again, as is the citrusy finish that lingers on the tongue. (Bottle).

Bottled, Pastuerised. Pale orange colour small head. Lemon zest with hops, smooth and drinkable but overall leaves you unimpressed.

Amber in appearance, pours with virually no head. Light, refreshing, zesty nose. Grapefruit give it a wonderful zesty taste that enhances the good flavour of this beer.

Another light and refreshing type of summer beer, this time with the addition of grapefruit zest. I enjoyed it, although its light appearance, and lack of any real depth of flavour makes for a easily forgetable drink. Not bad though.

Bottled. Gold colour, moderate head and condition with some lacing on the glass. Citrusy lemon nose, more citrus in the mouth along with a delicate pepperiness. Finish starts bitterly and becomes harsh and astringent at the end.
