Description
In a nutshell:
A refreshing and balanced Golden Ale with a soft bitterness, like a classic British bitter that took a summer holiday in Cologne.
The lowdown:
Harvey's Olympia is a golden ale, a brighter cousin to traditional bitter with a touch more in the way of hops. Pale as summer sunshine, it sits pretty in the glass. Citrussy aroma, bit of grapefruit on the nose, that's the New World hops doing their thing. Smooth on the palate, not heavy like some. Just enough of that English hop bitterness to keep things interesting. A pretty decent thirst-quencher for warmer weather.
The Brewery:
Now, Harvey's of Lewes, they're a rather intriguing bunch, aren't they? Tucked away in Sussex, brewing beer for eight generations. You half expect to see someone in breeches and a powdered wig stroll out of the place. Yet, they somehow manage to navigate the modern world with their time-tested brewing methods. Their beers, well, they lean traditional. There's their Best Bitter, which does precisely what it advertises - delivers a rather agreeable pint. And if you're in the mood for something darker, that Old Ale of theirs is a proper winter warmer with just the right amount of depth. But here's the thing, in this world of ever-changing craft trends with more hops than you can shake a stick at, Harvey's offers a certain old-school charm. Like discovering a classic British film on a Sunday afternoon, there's something reassuring in their steadfast dedication to well-made, unfussy brews.
Style - Blonde & Golden Ale ABV 4.0% - Moderate Strength
