3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled Deep amber colour, malty, maple syrup flavour and aroma. This is an odd tasting beer. Nice but different. Molasses flavour, nice enough finish. Similar in style to the Norman beers, which didn't use hops.

Clear amber beer. Slightly dry and slightly crisp palate. Crisp malt well integrated with light fruity hop. Finish is a little over dry for me but this is an easy drinking light ale. Fruit is peach and light orange.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
50cl bottle found in Hastings. Golden amber with a ring of white head; rich malty aroma with a touch of sozzled raisins; full and fruity malt aroma; with a dry, solidly bitter finish with lingering hops. A rather good ESB.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Rating from an old notebook. 275ml bottle. Delightful deep chestnut colour, no head, very low carbonation. Unmistakeable Harveys aroma, berry fruit, caramel. A distinctive sweet bitter, little in the way of hopping. Bitters don’t usually work in bottles, especially when they are pasteurised but as with the Armada these are among the very best examples. I really enjoyed this and look forward to drinking this on cask.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours clear light brown with minimal head. Nose is dominated by caramel with a bit of fruitiness. Taste is really well balanced between strong malt character and some light bitterness. Dry finish with some crispness. Really really well balanced. Very nice and very drinkable.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good label and bottle, clear light brown-amber beer with a lacy head. Sweet, toffee ale aroma. A somewhat bipolar beer - simultaneously strongly bitter and fruit-toffee sweet - it’s kind of like those neckties that appear one color when you view it one way and another color from a slightly different angle. The sweetness and the bitterness co-exist, but never quite meld. Nonetheless, this was an enjoyable brew. Medium body, long bitter finish with some lip-smacking sweetness and tang. Thanks to Triock for importing from Sussex.
