COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Pasteurised.
Tesco Drink award 2008 Winner.
To entice laborours at harvest time, land owners would offer the promise of a hearty meal and ale, the latter often having drastic effects on the harvest - hence the demand for less potent ales, providing refreshment without compromising the quality of flavour. Harvesters ale is a full flavoured fruity refreshing ale - but with a lighter touch

Had this just under 3 years ago it pours light gold in colour and has a light straw like aroma. In the taste it was light refreshing and abit fruity good for 2.5%.

imdownthepub (7171) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - MAR 27, 2011
Bottled, 500ml from Tesco, Banbury. Yellow gold with white head. A beer that certainly reflects it’s ABV, wishy washy comes to mind, harsh lemony flavour on a watery body. Not enjoyable.

RichardGretton (3712) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JUL 8, 2009
Bottle. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is lightly hopped, and the flavour is yeasty, strongly dry and hopped. Overall quite a disappointing beer.

Umm bitter shandy. What, no, not shandy? Well sure tastes like it. Bubblegum, candy, lots of fizz. I could probably drink a fair few with only a burp as a side effect.

BigBeerHead (42) - Reading, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 10, 2009
Clear yellow coloured with a small white head. Aroma of malts, brewmash and grain. Sweet flavour of malts and brewmash with notes of hops. Hoppy finish. Boring.
