Cask at Charlies, Kbh. Watching the Rugby-final between England and Southafrica. Clear dark golden - white head. Fresh flowery hoppy, caramel, ligh citrus, sweetness. Ok nice and fresh.

Amber with a white head. Grassy hop nose. Bitter hops with a hint of malt and citrus. Not my thing at all.

A Mes rate: Another bottle from the Royal Toke that we sunk on the benches outside the George Inn. Mid amber with a decent white head. Hoppy, grassy aroma that is much more IPA than ESB. Malty and unrefined flavour with some sweet cereal notes underneath. Not a great beer.

Royal Oak, Borough 13/08/07 Golden yellow. Satisfyingly firm head. Although an ESB seemed very much like a golden ale. Light, well hopped with a bitter finish. Refrshing. Definitely a good summer beer in a old IPA style. My favourite Harveys.

500ml bottle from Brewery Shop. Chestnut, clear with lasting beige head. This has a really toffee butter aroma. Not much hop really at all. Diacetyl? Just not much of anything but butter, some hop on end. Bit disappointing. Only hints of the big hop I was expecting. Must try again and preferably on cask.

Cask @ Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. Light amber color with a hazy look. Head was very spare and gone immediately. Aroma was light hops and malty. Hints of fruit and flower, grassy. Medium bodied. Light dry and bitter finish.
