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.

My favourite Harviestoun (cask conditioned at The Commercial Inn, Dunfermline, Scotland). Hoppy, tart, spicy, slightly metallic. And again: hoppy, tart...

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.

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!

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!

Bright, almost clear amber. Tan head. Lovely aroma of caramel, fruity hops, & orange marmalade. Thick, sticky palate. Good malt flavour of caramel, orange syrup & marmalade. Earthy hop finish. Good, subtle balance.

Cask @ Viking Gabriella (ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki) 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

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.
