Haarlem Harvest

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden with a slight haze, reflecting the wine grape and blueberry additions. The head forms delicate white foam that settles to a thin lacing around the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and controlled, befitting a steel-conditioned saison.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright berry fruit—ripe blueberry and dark grape skin—layered over earthy, funky notes from the house mixed culture. Beneath lies a subtle yeasty complexity with hints of white pepper and dry hay, creating an inviting and approachable bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters dry and crisp, with tart berry acidity at the forefront and a mild fruity sweetness midway through. The mixed fermentation brings a gentle funkiness and slight winey character, while a restrained spicy yeast profile adds complexity. Bitterness remains soft and integrated at 28 IBU, never dominating.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and drying, with residual tartness and a touch of dark fruit lingering on the palate. A subtle yeasty note persists without heaviness, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.
