Cask, four pint take out from the brewery shop, 2nd Oct 2010. Perfectly clear bright amber with no head. Lovely citrus and raisin nose. Good dry flavour behind a palate that is full without being too heavy. Perhaps it could do with a little more spice and quirkiness but overall a lovely pint.

Cask at The Wharf. A clear, golden beer with a white head looking like it’s from a cask beer, which of course it is. Sweaty, toffee apple aroma, barnyard-ish notes too. For a moment I wondered if I was smelling some English cider. The flavor is pretty much the same, more on the citrusy side than the aroma, and with a nice citrusy, piney bitterness. A bit thin on the palate. Decent but strange, especially on the nose. Drinks easy though. 101204

This is a delightful beer. This by far was one of my favourites at the Eastbourne beer festival last year. Harveys keep on coming with very good quality ales
