What the brewer says

“The Harlot is crisp, light, and easy-drinking. Straddling the border of Belgium and the Czech Republic, it combines a Pilsner-like base recipe with Belgian yeast to create a versatile beer with a light body and elegant floral hops character.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Lemongrass and tangerine with a more peppery yeast character behind that. Very saison-like. Malt character brings notes of biscuit and honey. Some hops character brings some spice elements.” Flavor: “More citrus, herbal, and grassy with a bit of bready malt in the finish. Peppery phenols. Moderate low sweetness with low bitterness and a nice dry finish with a bit of hops bitterness that’s not overpowering. Refreshing.” Overall: “Lemon and supporting fruits are the focus of the flavor with a body to support. It’s a light beer and easy-drinking. I could finish a lot of these on a hot day. Very refreshing.”
