Bottle from the brewery. Smooth malty beginning with sharp ends. Malty caramelly sweetness with a nice but intense bitterness. Refreshing floral with green hops in between the malty body. The Fuggle-typical earthy aroma with floral hints is there. Long malty bitter caramelly aftertaste with sticky parts and a nice Ale-characteristic. Nice but a bit sticky.

Bottle from brewery shop. A pretty standard Harvey’s ale with a big bitterness. Like a mix of star of Eastbourne and Sussex best. Nice but average.

Cask at the Royal Oak, Borough. It pours clear rich amber with a medium white head. The aroma is classique Harvey’s.... rich, brown bread, earth, fruitiness, slight floral edge and a hint of sulphur. The taste is bitter, brown bread, wood, cereal, dried fruits, earth, light floral notes and spice with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well-rounded and quaffable.
