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.

Cask @ The Caley Sample Rooms, Edinburgh 250812
Fairly dark golden amber, clear, bubbly thin head
Aroma - sweet golden malts, soft grassy hop, hint of caramelised orange, bit of caramel malt
Taste - Fairly sweet golden malts, soft orange zest, bit herbal, touch of a floral note, soft grassy hops.
Palate - soft carb, thinnish body, bitter palate, bit thin for the abv. Finish as main flavour which dissipates quickly
Overall - It’s OK but nothing special

Aroma: Difficult to detect. Muted caramel and orange rind notes. Smells dry and hoppy. Clean, but not very powerful.

Appearance: Murky, amber body with a small white head. Good carbonation. Excellent lacing

Taste: Quite a deep, heavy taste with a warming alcohol burn. Sweet candy malt with a subtle orange flavour. Dry, bitter finish.

Palate: Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation.

Overall: This isn’t as complex as I’d hoped for, but it’s a well balanced double IPA. Hoppy, dry and heavy.
