500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s, Holborn. Shared with my friends at a hotel room in Kings Cross. Clear golden in body colour under a creamy, white head retention. Aromatic floral hops. Fruit cocktail flavour with notes of lemon, grapefruit, orange and melon. Nice bitter ending. Zesty and refreshing drinkability. Very moreish (01.02.2007).

Bottle from Sainsbury, Kidlington. Had this cold as it recomended but I found that this dulled the taste experience somewhat. Poured a pale blond colour, with busy white head that qucikly faded away. Some malt and citrus aroma’s, taste was less intense than expected but there was a definate citrus flavour to this beer though the bitterenss seemed blunter than I’d hoped and remembered last time I’d had this.

The bitter hoppy aroma hits as soon as the bottle is openned; pours a pale blonde colour with a white head;good balance of honey sweetness and bitterness at first and than a zing a lemon. Very, very good.

Cask gravity at Halfway House, Brenchley. Copper colour, disappearing head. Just a bit dull on the aroma. Biscuity malt, some toffee, some sharp hop that is a bit sherberty. Not as intense as I would expect a Harviestoun beer to be. Reasonable fullness in mouth, some nuttiness. Dryish finish.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. A golden amber colour with lots of white head leaving some lacing; quite highly carbonated. Quite light to drink with a malty taste, then a pleasantly bitter aftertaste leaving the palate dry. Unfortunately I didn’t have any haggis on hand to try with it - according to the back of the bottle... "Hunted in the heather covered hillsides of the highlands, these reclusive creatures traverse the hillside only in an anti-clockwise direction, due to the unequal length of their legs." - as my shotgun has a clockwise bend in the barrel I’ll never bag one of the blighters!

Pintl on cask at Oliver Twist in Stockholm. Appealing flourish aroma shines through from this golden brown brew with its small white head. Hoppy taste with moderate hints of grapefruit. A bit watery palate, but otherwise well balanced (02.12.2006).

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy off-white head. Fruity and nutty nose with notes of toffee, orange and apricots. Fruity, hoppy taste with orange, grapefruit and a nice dash of hops in the finish. A bit sweet. The low abv and the great hop flavour makes this quite enjoyable.

Bottle. A wood smoke, chocolate malt and alcohol aroma - initially had a medicinal smell but that faded as it warmed - had it too cold. Midnight black with small film of a head. Smokey dark chocolate flavor with moderate hops throughout. Nice full-bodied beer - well balanced.

Big white creamy head over clear golden body. Clear, golden deep hop aroma of tropical flowers, fruit, metal, and a touch of smoke. Taste is again flowers and fruit with lots more of the smoke. Quite bitter. Dry, hoppy, metallic aftertaste. Very nice! (0.5l bottle.)

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.
