Light in colour, with prominent floral and ginger notes that mellow into a gentle sweet bitterness.
The perfect Valentine celebration beer. A Valentine beer brewed with malted barley, pinhead oats and a marriage of English and Continental hops.
Available during February on draught and throughout the year in bottles.

Bottle at home. Light pour but still a good head. Bitter nose and a really complex and appealing flavour. Malt and hops, followed by the richness and tang of the oats. Perhaps a bit too rich for more than one????

Bottle from the brewery shop in Lewes. Smooth and round malty beginning. Fresh smooth, nice with hints of grain. Not too sweetish, round with a nice and intense bitterness. The Golden Ale aromatic is smooth, mild grainy sweetish in the aftertaste. Nice.

Bottle from Harvey’s online. Appearance - golden with nice lace. Nose - pungent citrus, maybe getting towards tamarind. Taste - loads of green herby notes Palate - medium bodied or so. Creamy and fairly fresh on the finish. Overall - it’s not bad, it’s not good, it has more character than plain water.

Cask at the Market Porter. It pours clear golden-amber with a decent off-white head. The nose is earthy, dough, mild Harvey’s sulphur, biscuit and straw. The taste is crisp, bitter-sweet, biscuit malt base, earth, grassy, straw, floral, pepper and a touch of honey with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation.a big step up from the bottled version. Solid Harvey’s action.

Bottle from the Harvey’s bottle shop. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The nose is toasty, grainy, buttered cheap white bread and straw. The taste is crisp, lightly bitter, straw, floral, sweet dough, pale grain, earth and light lemon rind with a dry finish. Light-medium body and average carbonation. Pretty basic stuff. Not bad, just plain. One of my least favourite from Harvey’s.
