When I wrote about Belhaven Twisted Thistle,I titled the post “Bitter and Twisted”–knowing,but for some reason ignoring the fact,that there is a beer of that name. Well,in an effort to set the record straight (or possibly to confuse even further),I thought I should sample Harviestoun Bitter &Twisted (4.2%).
It is a blonde beer with a light,fresh smell and sharp,hoppy bitter taste. The bottle notes declare that it is “spicy,aromatic and zesty”,and I have to agree. It is a very pleasant beer. Having visited their website,I now know that it was voted the World’s Best Ale at the World Beer Awards in 2007,and is one of Roger Protz’s Top Ten Must Try British Beers –well I’ve tried it,and I liked it!
