First brewed in 1982 under the names of WB Bitter, Batch Bitter & Black Cock Bitter for local pubs and then rebranded as Kingfisher. Now trademarked as Harrier - a light and golden low alcohol beer with a delicate floral and fruity aroma for a refreshing sweet and slightly hoppy finish. Brewed with Pale and Crystal malt with Goldings, Challenger, Cascade and Saaz hops.

Cask, Three Guineas, Reading. Amberish gold colour with little in the way of head. Slightly damp farty aroma with a vague hint of musty hop. Some citrus notes in the flavour which had enough hop present to make this a sinkable thirst quencher that is ok considering the strength.

Half pint at The Halfway House. Clear golden body. Missing head. Vague hoppy to the nose. Suggestions of hoppy fruits in flavour with a decent bitter tail. Quite well bodied for the strength. Edinburgh 24.10.2008.

Cask (GBBF 2008) - Golden in colour. Lightly hoppy and fruity aroma. Fresh tasting with some grapefruit and lemon. Nice and refreshing and a lot of flavour for the strength.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms JDW, Bristol 16/11/07. Very light, sweet malt aroma whiff the merest whiff of grassy hop. Touch of hops in the mouth, with a slightly sweet, short finish. Ok.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is pale amber to orange. Somewhat fruity nose with a lightly citrussy, hoppy aroma. The citrus is evident in the taste as well, light body with a drier hoppy, but very short, finish. Refreshing but rather thin, saved by the hops.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Deep golden. Honey aroma. Medium sweet with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Notes of linginberries. An easy going blond ale that hasn’t got too much to offer.
