Coldharbour Lager

◎ Aussehen

Coldharbour presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, luminous transparency. The head forms quickly and maintains even coverage across the surface, with fine Schaumkleiden tracking down the glass as you drink. Carbonation is lively and persistent, evidenced by a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a clean, herbal floral character from the Saphir and Hallertau Blanc hops—white flowers and subtle citrus notes. Behind this lies a soft, bready Malz foundation from Vienna malt, balanced with the crisp, noble-hop profile typical of the German Pilsner tradition. The German lager yeast contributes minimal esters, allowing the hop aromatics and Malz sweetness to remain in the foreground.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a delicate Malz sweetness that doesn't linger. The mid-palate reveals the floral, mineral character of the Edelhopfen, paired with a light, clean body that avoids any heaviness. Bitterness builds gently across the finish, arriving at 22 IBU—enough to frame the palate without dominating, and typical of the style's restrained bitterness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and clean, with the hop bitterness slowly fading into a subtle mineral dryness. Aftertaste remains refreshing and elegant, inviting another sip without any lingering sweetness or astringency.
