275 ml bottle drank after a session drinking some excellent ales @ Weatherspoons Beer Festival so it had a lot to live up to. Poured a deep amber red with a very small head and little carbonation. A malty beer with some backgriund bitterness. Only average despite its pretentions to be something better.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Poured a clear darkish amber colour with the merest of heads. Not a massive aroma, but what there was contained sweet malt and grassy hops. Flavour quite understated and a similar gig to the aroma. Not without some charm but bordering on average.

Bottle. Pours clear golden coloured with a nice medium sized white head. Hoppy floral and grassy aroma with notes of white bread and fruity peach. Crispy flavour with caramel and grassy notes and a nice bitter finish. Nice.

Bottle from the brewery shop had at home. Alround rating: Leafy grassy hop, minerally lightly sulphurus note, caramel off the malt, the pasturisation is quite noteable in this one. Still i like the idea of these wee harveys beers.

Mail order. Golden yellow with not much carbonation. Very bready, yet light bodied. Not much happening here.

on cask at Royal Oak (London - Borough). Clear light amber with a smallish frothy head. The aroma seemed a bit sour at first, and thin - light grain malt, grassy and slightly catty/funky. The taste reminded me of light rye toast, it had a weak bready yeastiness, but a very grassy finish, that I really dug by the end of the pint. Light bodied, mildly astringent, quite still, but slick on the palate and the linger is pleasingly acidic. My initial impression was that this was very one-dimensional, but it developed subtleties I really enjoyed - I think this is underrated.

500ml bottle. Pale amber with a small, off-white head but plenty of carbonation. Aroma of floral hops with a hint of caramel. Flavour had some biscuity malt with a buttery edge and a short dry finish. Ok.

Cask. Low white and quickly disappearing head. Clear amber body. Weak fruity aroma. Relatively bitter and yet fruity flavor with low carbonation and a good dry long and bitter aftertaste.
