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.

<i> <b> Cask at Harveys pub in Southwark The Royal Oak 21-06-08 </i> </b> 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.

Cask at The Wenlock Arms. Deep amber with a small froth. Earthy aroma and flavours, but not much bitterness. Not bad, but far from a mild &#40;more like a weak bitter&#41;.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Lord Nelson, Brighton. An amber coloured beer. This has that typical Harveys aroma which to me is very peppery, but there is the addition of caramel. The taste is really mild. Old fashioned gentle mild flavours. Some sweetness. Very drinkable if a little too mild
