Founded in 1983 by Ken Brooker, the Scottish brewery has grown steadily to become renowned for their award winning beers. Head brewer, Stuart Cail, joined Harviestoun in 1995. Over the years the brewery has found new and innovative ways to create truly unique beers from their whisky cask aged Old Engine Oil to Bitter and Twisted, aged in Gin and Pinot Noir barrels.

Bohemian Pilsener or 'světlý ležák' by Scottish Harviestoun; enjoyed from a bottle at Aberdeen airport as the last Scottish beer of my trip in Scotland (ignoring a Punk IPA by BrewDog). Snow white, bubbly, medium thick, lightly lacing, breaking head over a crystal clear pale 'metallic' brass-golden robe with lively sparkling. Aroma of dried white bread, grass, petrichor, wet cereals, ferrous spring water, dried flowers, green tree leaves in spring. Rounded grainy onset, sweetish with lots of prickly carbonation forming an important minerally undercurrent, running through the whole like a babbling mountain brook. Greenish-cereally malts remain pure till the end, rounded and thereafter bittered by a grassy, even rooty, 'green', very credible, even somewhat 'raw' hoppiness. Quite a solid and pure Pilsener, above average for one not made in its home region, I would say.

Cask at The Howff, Aberdeen. It pours crystal clear golden witt a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fragrant, floral, orange blossom, tangerine, kumquat, apricot and biscuity malt. The taste firmly dry, decent bitterness which builds, snappy biscuit, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, waxy orange peel, dull marmalade and floral accents with some toasty grain through quite a bitter finish. Average body a decent fluffy cask carbonation. Easy going hoppy blonde ale. Far from a game changer, but drinks fine.

12 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma has some gentle smokiness from the barrels and soft English bready malt. Flavour is surprisingly muted, with gentle whiskey barrels, soft toasted malt, and some earthy breadiness. Surprisingly mellow.
