From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a small, off-white and creamy head. Mild citrusy and grassy. Rather dry hoppy. Grassy, herbal, citrusy and slight peachy hops flavoured. Dry malt base, light toasted. Bitter and fruity into a bone dry finish.

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).

Cask, 5.0%. This ale has a full mouthfeel, getting a little sweet. The hop character is nice, has a bit of tea and spice. Ends on a nicely rough note.

Cask Conditioned at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen, 2006-09-23, 7-4-8-5-16=40
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!
