Harveys Star of Eastbourne

500ml Bottle (Royal Oak,London) - Amber coloured. Slightly peachy aroma. Moderately bitter and peachy taste which is rather refreshing. Reasonably impressive.

500ml bottle. 6.5% ABV. Re-rate at the Royal Oak, Borough, 24th Feb 2009. Pillowy nose and very lively on the tongue. Clear amber look. Orange and vanilla on the nose, similar flavour with restrained hoppiness and a bitter finish. Very nice.

Cask @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a golden deep orange with next-to-nothing head. Aroma is light caramel with a good dose of grassy hops and a little sulfur. Low carbonation. Flavour is very soft, lots of caramel at first. Then a surge of wonderful hops hit me, but maintains a great balance. Pine and flowers dominate, giving it a great dryness at the end.

Copper with a lasting off-white head, leaving fine lace. Pungent grassy hops aroma, with some apples and caramel. Semi-sweet with some bitterness.

Cask at Charlie’s, Copenhagen. Hazy golden. Almsot no head. Not much aroma; some flowery hops. Citric flavour. Apples aswell. ALmost flat with ok bitterness.

Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. Golden color, no head. Malty, fruity aroma, sweet apples and pears. Fruity, sourish, citric and hoppy flavor, some grapes, some apples.

Gravity, Turf Tavern Autumn ale festival. Warm copper orange, scattered off-white bubbles. Leathery citrus aroma, leaf mould. Rough leafy hop flavor, apples, rustic malt backbone, noisy hay finish. Some interesting flavors, but at least as served here, very disjointed.

Cask @ Charlies. Clear pale amber coloured with almost no head. Very refreshing with notes of hops, malt, citrus and caramel. Has a nice floral feel to it.
