Cak at Cockney Pub. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Week but nice. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate and a little too flat.

Coppery colored with little yellow head. Hopped aroma with grassy notes, thin toffee also comes up. Medium bodied. Flavor is also hopped with lemon and caramelly notes. Aftertaste dries.

Cask. At Royal Oak, Borough. Hazy gold-amber with an average lasting creamy white head, nice lace remnants too. Grassy and hoppy aroma - solid, appealing. Lovely taste, most definitely dry-hopped - grassy and floral, quite dry, not too sweet. Typical cask ale body, slightly astringent from the hops, mild carbonation (just right for drinking many pints), with a nice long dry bitter finish. I noted that the pungency of the hops really emerged as it warmed to near room temp.

Cask at Royal Oak, London. September 08. Poured amber with a lasting white head. Nice malt aroma and floral notes. The flavour is malt and fruit. Smooth mouthfeel with a dry and bitter finish.

I wish I had something intelligent to say about this beer, but you see, I was pretty pissed when I drank it. When your pissed and you drink beer, your notes suck. Mine says "mildly bitter" with a 13. Yup, that is what beer does to you and that was RateBeer is actually very ironic phrase that most people probably haven’t thought about. Oh well, nevertheless I have filled in more than the space I need.

Pours a pale copper (at the royal oak). This is one of my favourite Harveys beers, probably one of the hoppiest! Starts off with a big malty biscuity body that is followed by a strong hop kick, finishes very dry.
