| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 19, 2003 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. Boystout (900), Chisinau, Moldova
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 9, 2004 My favourite Harviestoun (cask conditioned at The Commercial Inn, Dunfermline, Scotland). Hoppy, tart, spicy, slightly metallic. And again: hoppy, tart... Radek Kliber (3972), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 17, 2003 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! GregClow (2499), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Golden/amber with a small but creamy head. Grassy, herbal aroma with some citrus notes. Nice hoppy flavour with good bitterness in the aftertaste and a fruity note adds to complexity. Light refreshing palate RichardGretton (3153), Leicestershire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 16, 2003 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.
