Cask at the Pembury Tavern, Hackney, during the February Festival 2011. Pours clear gold with no head really. Nice, crisp straw flavour, pale bread, faint honey. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Clean, dry finish, more bready malts, baked leaves, some faint lemon zest. Enjoyable beer.
Great tasting hoppy ipa. Easy drinking session ale
half int on tap at No2 Refreshment Room, Cleethorpes.
Medium creamy white head. Hazy pale golden pour. Light bitterness. Easy drinking
Pale yellow colour, moderate sized creamy white head; aroma of floral and fruity, as well as some granny notes, moderately bitter taste with slight fruitiness and caramel notes; refreshing ale
Pretty non descript golden ale. Sweet front and bitter back. Nothing special
Cask at Roscoe. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has lots if grass with a hint of pine and grains backing. Flavor has straw and light fruits with grass and grains backing.
Cask at GBBF 2007. (Backlog / historic rating from old records. NO tasting notes taken / kept) (Backlog)
Pint at the airport (Tenerife 2017). Pours clear golden yellow with nice white head that stays. Aroma of vomit and yeast. Best to not smell it! Taste malty and fresh and deep. Subtly hopped with grassy pinney flavour. THE PERFECT session beer. Just don't smell it.
Cask @ Salopian. Pours pale gold with a light mist, small foamy white head. Aroma has a light pale malt sweetness. Taste is a little buttery, moderately bitter, light citrus, some grassy moments. Found the buttery side a bit off-putting, generally though it's ok.
Cask @ Canalhouse, Nottingham. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet malt, grass, hops, flowers and has a nice bitter finish.
Hoppy spices with a dry finish. A touch of fruitness. Lovely golden ale!
Great performer and reliable choice, nothing like a night out with a few Harvest Pale’s
Cask at The North Star, Leytonstone. Clear pale golden with a lasting, white head. Aroma is grainy and earthy. Taste is grainy with a bitter finish. Refreshing, good beer.
Had a swift pint in the new Barack tavern, Sheffield. Very satisfied. Tasty tasty.
Decent refreshing ale.
Hazed golden color with a fine white head. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Nice body for a 3,8% beer. Soft carbonation. malty, herbal and flowery flavor.

Cask at London Drinker Beer Festival. Pale yellow colour. Citrus hops. Refreshing. Good session beer.
Cast in various Nottingham pubs. Pours pale gold. Aroma is grassy with hints of lemon and grapefruit. Slight lemony flavour with low bitterness. A good steady option if there’s nothing more exciting on the menu.
Sampled on draught at the John Baird, Muswell Hill. Clear golden colour with a white head. Aroma of malt and gentle hints of citrus. The palette is remarkably full, considering this is only 3.8%. Taste has mild citrus flavours of lemon and grapefruit with hints of pine and honey. A really nice, well-balanced and tasty light blond beer.
Fairly standard low gravity citrus pale bitter. Refreshing in summer but rather thin for year round drinking. Reasonable but not a favourite.
Cask @ Clarence Hotel, New Brighton [120615]
Blonde, soft haze, frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft citrus, some dull lemon
Taste of soft citrus zest, light lemon, soft pale malts, some creamy malts
Palate - Medium light body, light creamy, soft sweet, soft bitter zest. Finish as main flavour, creamy, slight bitter minerals in linger I’m not keen on
Overall - Quite creamy this golden ale. Better than the bottled version.
Cask at The Roebuck, Leek (Titanic) A clear golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of lemon, some grapefruit, slight honey, cereal and grassy hops. Taste of more lemon, grapefruit, some cereal, a little resin and grassy hops. Light bodied and soft carbonation. A bittersweet grassy finish with subtle honey. A very flavourful golden ale for its strength, decent body and really well balanced. Nothing wrong with this, great.
Cask@the waterfront, Barton under needwood marina. Pale straw coloured beer with small head and decent lacing. Aroma of grass, light biscuit and a touch of lemon. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma with a more biscuity taste. Ok.
Clean and crisp nice lasting head with some lacing lemony cheescajer taste bitterish short finish session bnlonde.

Cask in the Elephant and Castle W8. Pale golden, loose white foam. Another golden ale? Actually more than that, crisp malt, slightly grainy, goid texture. Dry bitterness, sherbety feel, lemon, floral. Absurdly quaffable. Nice pint.
Cask at the Hog & Partridge, St Neots. Pale gold, clear, a bit of loose white head. Light aromas of lemon and candy sugar. Bittersweet taste, with lovely floral (and less lovely buttery) overtones. Slight bitterness in the short finish. Palette has a little bit more body than I expected. Good enough.
Poured clear golden with a white head. Aroma of fruity hops and soft malt. Light body, flavour is medium sweet, lightly bitter.
