ante (3375) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 17, 2005
(cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Pale bronze colour. Fresh aroma of tropical fruit and grapefruit. Light but really fresh flavour of starfruit, apricot and grapefruity hops. Bitter finish of grapefruit.

pilsnerrogge (2144) - Finspång, SWEDEN - JUL 6, 2005
(Cask @ Akkurat, Stockholm 3,8 %) Pale amber with a slight haze. The head is nothing but a thin lid. Fruity aroma. Medium-bodied with a fruity apricot-bitter flavour. I really wish I could get cask-conditioned ales where I live.

MrWalker (926) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 4, 2005
Cask @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm 30 June, 2005.
Oxidized golden colour. Slightly unfiltered... Typical Harviestoun taste, but slightly sweeter. Sharp and bitter aftertaste.

omhper (15965) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 27, 2005
Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Bronze colour. Grapefruity hop aroma. Dry and light bodied with rounded mouthfeel. The rich hoppiness creates a near shampoolike flavour. Feels fresh. Lingering bitter finish. A weird cross of styles with it’s very american style hop character and British style malt character.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUN 18, 2005
Gravity cask at Red Lion, Snargate. Amber coloured, with typical Harviestoun hop nose, some lemon citrus fruit, then the reminiscent american dry hop finish. Not my favourite Harviestoun, but nice enough

chriso (7065) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 19, 2004
Clear pale gold colour. Spritzy citric aroma. Flavour is similar - fresh zesty citrus. Clean finish. Nothing too complex, but very impressive for what it is. Rather reminiscent of Bitter & Twisted. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London SW1.
