Cask. Amber colour with a mediumsized foamy creamy head. Aroma is grass, some floral notes, mild herbs as well as some toffee. Flavour is grassy, floral, fruity and some mild nutty tones. Good bitter, which actually is a border case to an IPA due to the hoppiness.

Cask handpull at Bacchus, Newcastle. Bit of tea flavour, more a best bitter but with good hop on end.

Bottle. Bright amber color with a good white head and moderate condition. Low citrus hop aromas, some sweet malt in the mouth with good level of resinous hop flavour and a relatively long hop bitter finish.

Tapped @Beer Hunters, Pori
Amber color with small but steady creamy head. Aroma is grassy hops. Freshing hop bitterness, balanced palate with bitter aftertaste. Welldone IPA but a bit watery.

Bright copper colour. Minerally, earthy, marmaladey aroma. The palate is complex, juicy, earthy, hoppy. Their yeast is absolutely wonderful, adding layers to their beers. Truly one of Britain's showpiece breweries, Harviestoun is well-deserving of their CBOB award for Bitter & Twisted. The Indian Summer is a better beer, but these guys are a stellar representative of what British brewing should be in the 21st century.

Dark beer slightly bitter like in appearance. There is hardly any aroma other than dryness but the flavour is sweet and refreshing, hopped and has great dry finish. Overall a beautiful drink.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Amber colour. Grapefruit aroma. Fruity, rounded and salty. Raisiny and smooth up front, but rugged and bitter in the finish.
