Cask at Horsens Beerfestival. Clear, golden body with a thin white head. Weak malty aroma with fruit. Flavor is light malty, fruity and a light hoppy finish. Rather OK, ordinary English bitter, quite refreshin.

Cask - half pint. Served at a lightly room temperature (perfect!). Golden brown with virtually no head. Spicy and fruity (lemon) to the nose. Sharp flavour of oranges or orange shells combined with malty sweetness. After five of the Harveys ales at The Royal Oak in Borough we left for Market Porter 15.09.2006).

Copper color; thin persistent head. Very nice hoppy aroma. The flavor is full malty, even if the body is not thick, with a malty fruitness and an excellent grassy hopping, very distinctive; some sweet caramel. Balanced flavors, fresh. Excellent!

Beautiful light amber color. Earthy malt aroma with some hops. Smooth mouthfeel, malty taste, a bit chewy, fresh and fruity; residual sweetness; it has a good bitterness. A beauty of an Ale!

Cask at Horsens Beerfestival. Clear, golden beer with a white head leaving nice lacings. Toffee-notes and malt in the aroma. The flavor has the same toffee-notes, malt, caramel, some hoppy fruityness and sweetness. Thin body. A nice, but quite ordinary beer. Rating: 5-3-6-3-12-2.9. 061028
Cask at The Wharf. Fruity, apricot, dried fruits and roasted aroma. The flavor is a bit boring, as many cask ales, with a light citrusy touch to the malty, biscuity flavor. Some metal in the finish, with a good bitterness. Medium body, dryish. A decent ale indeed, but it doesn’t ring any of my bells. 101020

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a thin bubbly orange head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - primarily peaches, but also a hint of strawberries. The flavor is sweet again with a strong presence of fruit - and again peaches being most dominant - the fruityness also gives it a subdued acidity, that draws a bit of mouthwater and makes it very refreshing. The end is slightly bitter. A good thirst quencher after working hard gathering the harvest.
