Originally brewed in 1920 as Harvey's IPA with an abv of 4.7%. In the 1930's it went down to 4.0%. Then down to 3.0% during the war, but eventually settled on 3.5% in the 1950's. (In 2003 a version named Harvey's Long Man IPA in honour of the Long Man Morris Men was released.)

[Cask at Royal Oak, London] A hazy orange beer with a small beige disappearing head. The aroma is lightly hoppy, while the flavor is very fresh hoppy, oily, and grassy. Nice one.

Cask@Royal Oak, Borough. Pale golden colour, not much head. Aroma is fruity hops along with some wooden hints. Flavour is wooden, vegetably and slightly fruitish hoppy. Wellbalanced, but quite empty in the palate.

<i>Cask at the Royal Oak, London</i><br />Amber color. Light malty and yeasty aroma. Despite the low gravity, the mouthfeel is quite full, malty. And the hopping is generous, aromatic. Good
