does not count  Apr 2, 2004 Every bit as good as the Best Bitter, just a little less sweet, but still full of flavour. Usually on top form in those Harvey's houses that stock it.

Oct 28, 2007 [Cask at the Royal Oak, Borough] Fresh hop aroma, pleasantly bitter, even better (in that occasion) than the more famous special bitter. Very good!

Dec 27, 2007 Cask at the Royal Oak with Mes and reakt, 2nd Sept 2007. Crystal clear amber appearance. Ester aroma - pear drops and bananas. Very, very dry taste that lingers, giving a lip-smacking finish. Excellent pale ale.

Dec 19, 2005 <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

Feb 13, 2004 In a festival with a very high proportion of undistinguished session beers, this one stood out. Of course, Harveys have been plying their trade for far longer than the micros largely represented here, so it's not surprising that they know how to make a good beer. There is nothing earth shattering about this, just a hint more balance and complexity than most session bitters can muster. And that is all that is required in a session bitter really. Very nice.
