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.

440ml can from a local Lidl: BBE March 2024. Poured into a vase shaped UK pint glass at home on 23rd September 2023. Very pale golden body, slightly misty, snow white crust on top. Lemonade like aroma and taste, sort of shandy flavour, didn't actually like this much. Not the Harbour's finest beer by some way!

Can at home picked up from lidl. A mostly clear pale golden yellow coloured pour with a fluffy white head. Aroma is grassy citrus, green cereals, lemon rind, pithy. Flavour is composed of crisp grains, harsh bitter hop. Earthy grains, straw, little harsh. Palate is super crisp, light, grainy, highish carbonation. Harsh bitter bite in the finish. Not that sessionable.

500ml bottle from Asda. Pale gold in colour, with a billowy, white, head. Aroma of sweetish tropical fruits, hay and white pepper. Flavour had some juicy mango and kiwi fruit, before some crisp malts, leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Can from Lidl, Inverurie. It pours clear pale yellow - gold with a small white head. The aroma is soft, simple light grain, biscuit, cheap white bread, touch of lemon curd, like and custard creams. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, decent hit of bitterness, pithy, zesty, waxy citrus peel, slightly soapy, toasty grain, straw, biscuit, grass and leafy vibes with a drying, bitter finish. Light body and fine, prickly carbonation. Weak. Pretty basic stuff and not something I would associate with Harbour really.
