Brewed with a simple but powerful grain bill of Genie Pils and Sonora White Wheat from our friends @lincmalt and hopped with Saaz, Harlen is light and lean but with a silky mouthfeel thanks to the wheat. We lagered the beer in the foeder with our mixed culture for over a month before packaging, where it then naturally conditioned in the can. Bright, refreshing, and with a touch of palate-cleansing bitterness in the finish, this is exactly the kind of beer we want to be drinking to welcome the warmer weather that’s just around the corner (or so we hope!)

Re-rate: Aug 26, 2022 (from notes) Poured from the tap @ Alibi Room. Hazy blonde with small white head. Buggy, rustic, dry. Decent. Aug 06, 2022 (7/2/7/3/14=3.3): Poured from bottle @ FHF 2022 (backlog notes from Aug 06). Cloudy blonde with small white head. Rustic saison yeast, a little bland, could be that it's the bottom of the shared glass.

Gold colour, just a touch of haze. Pale malt, just a touch bready, light bugs on the palate, mellow malt. A hint of wood in the finish. Wouldn’t mind this a touch drier but can’t fault the execution.
