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.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines; clear dark amber pour with medium off white head, caramel and malt aroma, sweet malt taste with a hint of caramel not very high in the bitterness quota so so.

Cask at Lyric, Soho. It pours golden yellow with a medium white head. The nose is wood, varnish, wood polish, orange and faint farmyard. The taste is wood, grapefruit, lemon rind, grassy, light leather and varnish with a dry, lightly bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not bad.

13th May 2013 Euston Tap. Keg. Hazy amber beer, little white head. Palate is soft but minerally carbonation asserts on the back end, a fraction too assertive. Mild creamy malt with a touch of raw grain. Nice fresh orange and orange peel hops. Unusual whisper of bubblegum ester. Finishes crisp and semi dry. Had to agitate some carbonation out of this one but a nice beer. 3.6

Euston Tap. Keg. Hazy amber beer, good white head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, good fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts, a little creamy. Wonderfully peachy and tropical fruit hops, starting sweetish but developing a mildly bitter orange and grapefruit peel. Light floralness. Finishes with more malty creamy sweetness. A cracker!
