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.

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 @ Charlies, Copenhagen. Fully golden colour with a small white head. Light malty sweet aroma with a floral note. Fruity, citric flavor with a dry bitter finish.
