Commercial Description:
The filtered bottle version of the 3.8% cask ale.
Note: This is not the beer that won Supreme Champion in 2003.
"Bottled with approximately 1/3rd less Carbon Dioxide than most beers. This results in a fresher more natural tasting beer. Combines Hallertau Hersbrücker with Challenger. Late hopped with Styrian Goldings, which gives a sharpness like the twist of a lemon."

Golden yellow color with faint head; fresh aroma of citrus hops; body is medium, mouthfeel is refreshing with not too much carbonation; flavor of crispy citrus and slightly bitter hops, some spices too, lots of lemon; very refreshing.

50cl bottle. Golden color. Big citrus zest aroma. Sharp citrus with pepper. Flavor is light. A touch of straw, lots of citrus hops add that touch of lemon zest. A very good session. I’d save this for the Summer months.

On tap at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Tap versions isn’t that common? Pours a golden color with a small white head. Not much lacing. Aroma is fruity and hoppy with cookies, pears, citrus and clementine. Flavour is mostly hoppy with wonderful pears, citrus, clementine and some cookie-like malt in the background. Medium bitterness. Body is medium, carbonation is rather soft to average, and texture is a bit oily. The thing which stands out here is the wonderful pear-notes, which I usually doesn’t tend to mention in my tasting notes. Very good beer from Scotland’s best brewery! Harviestioun continues to impress me.
