Bright, clear amber with a good sized white head. Very nice hoppy & earthy aroma. Very well bodied, good hop presence in the flavour, and a complex, lingering finish. Solid!

Clear, amber tone, white crisp head. Happy aroma that is slightly to light for classy IPA. Very nice texture , body , good hoppiness . Well rounded . Recommended.

Bright copper colour. Minerally, earthy, marmaladey aroma. The palate is complex, juicy, earthy, hoppy. Their yeast is absolutely wonderful, adding layers to their beers. Truly one of Britain's showpiece breweries, Harviestoun is well-deserving of their CBOB award for Bitter & Twisted. The Indian Summer is a better beer, but these guys are a stellar representative of what British brewing should be in the 21st century.

Hoppy aroma, with a hint of malt. Amber, with a large creamy head, plenty of lace. Fine hops/malt flavour blend, light on the hops, good malt follow through. Well balanced, and light bodied. A fine example!

Bottled. Bright amber colour, good white head and moderate condition. Low citrus hop aromas, some sweet malt in the mouth with good level of resinous hop flavour and a relatively long hop bitter finish.

Dark beer slightly bitter like in appearance. There is hardly any aroma other than dryness but the flavour is sweet and refreshing, hopped and has great dry finish. Overall a beautiful drink.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Amber colour. Grapefruit aroma. Fruity, rounded and salty. Raisiny and smooth up front, but rugged and bitter in the finish.
