Oakes (7032), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Oct 19, 2003 Bright copper colour. Minerally, earthy, marmaladey aroma. The palate is complex, juicy, earthy, hoppy. Their yeast is absolutely wonderful, adding layers to their beers. Truly one of Britain's showpiece breweries, Harviestoun is well-deserving of their CBOB award for Bitter & Twisted. The Indian Summer is a better beer, but these guys are a stellar representative of what British brewing should be in the 21st century. Boystout (824), Chisinau, Moldova Aug 9, 2004 My favourite Harviestoun (cask conditioned at The Commercial Inn, Dunfermline, Scotland). Hoppy, tart, spicy, slightly metallic. And again: hoppy, tart... Radek Kliber (3403), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 1, 2003 Clear, amber tone, white crisp head. Happy aroma that is slightly to light for classy IPA. Very nice texture , body , good hoppiness . Well rounded . Recommended. DougShoemaker (2619), Toronto, Canada Oct 17, 2003 Hoppy aroma, with a hint of malt. Amber, with a large creamy head, plenty of lace. Fine hops/malt flavour blend, light on the hops, good malt follow through. Well balanced, and light bodied. A fine example! GregClow (2369), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 8, 2003 Bright, clear amber with a good sized white head. Very nice hoppy & earthy aroma. Very well bodied, good hop presence in the flavour, and a complex, lingering finish. Solid!
