Description
In 2012, The Harbour Brewing Co. was just a fledgling idea: to brew proper beer reflecting the land (and shores) from where it came. Taking the best raw ingredients - awesome hops, Cornish spring water tapped straight from the source - and bringing them to life through dedication to technique. The concept evolved by the ocean - hence, 'Harbour' - but the beer came into being on the farm. There is joy in returning to the roots of the ingredients. And the heritage of the space, of the land, of the ocean, remain our inspiration. Everything clicks; the farm is Harbour's home.

Light gold, opalescent, with a creamy head, and moderate persistence. Delicate aroma, hints of apricot, caramel, pine, and herbs. The taste is also delicate, with grapefruit, stone fruit, orange peel, herbs, lemon, and a touch of resin. Medium-bodied and smooth, with low carbonation. Alcohol well hidden. Pleasantly drinkable, but could be more engaging.

330ml can from M&S in London, England. Pours a clear yellow color with a small white head and poor retention. Very little lacing. Slightly souring malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Slightly souring pale malt flavor and barely any bread notes. Starting to go bad, or just a bad flavor? Light body. Lower than expected carbonation. Not bitter. Not so good.

Fra fat på The Spread Eagle Inn, sammen med Steven: klar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Citrus, litt furunål og andre nødvendige inntrykk. En helt betimelig og vellykket forfriskning mens vi venter på lunsjen.

Bottle online from Rad Beer. Pours near clear orange gold with large white foam. Aroma: sweet grains, cider apple, mild lemon. honey, herbal hints. Taste: surprisingly sweet, floral, mild saison yeast. Not a huge wild/mixed ferm vibe, as another correspondent notes it's more Belgian blonde than wild ale. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Tastes like it's past it's best but I have no comparison.

Cask day 2014.
Incredibly sour aroma, dank, sour fruit, especially cherry, with some distinct malt vinegar notes also. Body is a little watery, carb is soft. Finish is a little overly sour, with some subtle lactic notes, and strong sour cherries. Interesting.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso va sul luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma cremosa ha una buona tenuta, è persistente e voluminosa. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si depositano impressioni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina e agrumi.
