Oct 13, 2005 Updated: Apr 24, 2006Aroma is slight though it comes through a little fruity apricot and apple, maybe orange peel too. Taste is similar with a not as dry as expected finish and little biterness. A good session beer alround.

Jun 16, 2005 Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Orange tinged brown, and small soapy head. Good fresh, grassy aroma. Silky mouthfeel, for a Bitter, a tinge of carbonation maybe. Hoppy flavour all the way throug, not overtly aggressive, just flavoursome, and holds to the finish. Slightly watery, slightly planty, but overall fresh and very refreshing. Good stuff.

Jan 19, 2006 (Cask@Pikkulintu, Helsinki) Slightly hazy nut brown color with a tiny, but persistent and lacy head. Nutty, aromatic-hoppy aroma. Sweetish, aromatic-hoppy flavor with a dry, slightly acidic finish. Medium-bodied, smooth-carbonated palate. A pleasant surprise for a 4.1% cask, but still quite a basic brew overall.

Jul 4, 2005 Cask @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm 30 June, 2005.
Dark amber to brown. Unusually unhoppy/unflowery for a Harvie. Almost on the border to a brown ale to me, haven’t it been for the quite sharp and hoppy finish. Hints of chocolate and roasted barley.

Sep 13, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), Chelmsford Beer Festival, July 2005. Attractive orange/amber colour. Fairly hoppy, as the lighter Harviestoun beers tend to be. Grassy and herbaceous rather than flowery. Citric, but with noticeable gooseberry character - reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc flavour. Mouthfeel is dry and a bit chalky/minerally. Clean and fresh, but not overloaded with flavour.
