(Cask at Priory Arms, Stockwell, London, 17 Apr 2009) Dark copper colour with brief, white head. Malty nose with apricots, dusty hops and a hint of sulphur. Malty taste with notes of apricots, biscuits and dusty hops in a fairly dry finish. A decent bitter, but on the boring side. I expect more from this excellent brewer.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden. Slight appley nose. Light bodied with slender, yet chewy malt. Carefully hopped with green apples disturbing the delicate balance. Growing late piney bitterness. Not the best brew from Harviestoun ever.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 18/03/09. Copper coloured with a decent white head that left lacing down the glass. Aroma of summer fruits and citrus hops. Flavour began with a touch of malty sweetness, before more citrus and leafy hops leading to a decent dry finish. Another good Harviestoun beer.

Cask gravity at The Ship & Mitre pub beer festival, Liverpool. Old gold colour with disappearing head. Nettle hop aroma, bit of tea. Tea and nettle finish. Not my favourite combo of flavours, but it does pack a punch with the hops on the end.
