Commercial Description:
Cask: Seasonal - May.
"Light Mild"
The timing of this brew is particularly appropriate since it coincides with the start of the Morris Dancing season. The brew has a lower alcohol content and a deep ruby colour with a delicate hop fragrance. Our own spring water and yeast strain ensure that the brew has the distinctive Harvey character.

mild, a weak head, it was served warm, no strong aftertaste or aroma, an easy drink.

A Mes rate: cask in the Brewery Sampling Room.
Very pale coloured for a mild. Lots of sulphur. Nicely bitter. Lightly sweet on the malt with some hints of caramel. A little more bitterness in the finish. Agree with Steve that it probably wasn’t ready yet.

Cask. At Royal Oak, Borough. Deep clear amber with a beige lacy head. Weird aroma for a mild - light roast malt, fairly sweet, pungently redolent of cat pee bitterness. The taste is grainy and vaguely herbal, some mild roast. Thick, still mouthfeel, thinly acidic - I really didn’t know what to make of this; I suspect it’s a very traditional mild, but I’m more used to the "near-porter" sort of mild, so ... just okay.

Popular beer with Harvey’s fans....there was almost a riot on Friday when it wasn’t ready to go on! Average beer for me really...hoppier finish than the dark mild, perhaps a touch of green apple...

Handpulled cask at the Garland, Redhill during May. Clear amber with thin white head. Dry and hoppy for a southern mild. Has Harveys house characturistics. I prefere it to their dark mild. Very sessionable.

Cask handpull at Royal Oak, London. Reddy amber colour. Farty Harvey’s yeast aroma, then this lovely light mild flavour. Oh this is scintillating. So drinkable it’s untrue. Foret Brew Dog Edge or Thornbridge Hall Sapphire, this is how to make a low ABV beer. Brilliant. Lovely toffee malt and then some hop on finish. Brilliant.

Cask at Harveys pub in Southwark The Royal Oak 21-06-08 Copper in colour no head. Pretty good beer and hoilding up very well considering my tastebuds are freash from an assault by a Mikkeller Beer Geek at The Rake. Light and surprisingly hoppy, some caramel comes through but this is just a lovely easy going mild with a nice gentle bitterness and slightly drying finish.

Cask at the Royal Oak, Borough, May 2008. Clear amber with a hoppy nose. Dry and hoppier than Sussex Best. Has a good weight and a nice finish. A good session light mild.
