2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap @ Harriet. Pours a pale yellow, clear appearance with a white head. Pretty dull, a bit soapy, straw, grassy aroma. Dull herbal, soapy/floral, grainy flavor. Probably my least favorite that I’ve had from these guys.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at the brewery. Rating #7. Clear golden pour with a nice white head. Crisp malt aroma with a nice bit of hops in there as well. Flavor is clean, more hops and very well done. (2448)

Pour on tap is clear yellow with white head, aroma has biscuit, bread, some spice, floral notes, touch of grass, hints of earth as well. Taste is a mix of biscuit, hints of bread, earth, slight floral and grass notes, finishing fairly sweet, spicy and dry.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grains and cereal with a bit of backing grassiness and a hint of underlying butter. Flavor is a bit more earthy but still a bit of sweetness from a cereal note with a hint of grass and butter.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled at St. Paul Summer Beer Fest. Looks like I might be the first (sort-of) hater, but it might just be that this isn’t my style. Light gold pour with a white head, grain and butter on the taste. Mild hops in here as well.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap. Had never seen this one before, so I’m psyched to give it a try. Crystal clear, golden color with a small, but frothy, white head. Lightly grainy aroma, some sweetness too. Taste is slightly sweet, grassy, with a mildly crisp finish. Slightly dry. Lighter mouthfeel, but full bodied. One of the easiest drinking beers I’ve had. Just a super clean, full bodied pilsner. Fuck yeah! Another winner from harriet.
4.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Growler. Clear light golden pour, light carbonation and a light honey and malt aroma. Flavor is light sweet malt, grassy honey and a very mild hop presence on the finish. I’m not generally a fan of pilsener’s, but the was outstanding.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Harriet’s Pils. Growler purchased Saturday afternoon. In a hastily prepared blank, transparent vessel. I recall my disappointment when my first growler was replaced with a white-lettered one. Compare this to the man ahead of me in line who insisted on getting his green lettered growler back. Oh, but these are fleeting matters, people, ephemeral details that mean nothing compared to the beer.
And how about that beer?
Bright golden hue, slim white head. Beautifully clear and inviting.
Aroma, clean, slightly sweet, hoppy. Awfully nice.
Taste: mouth is gripped with hops first up, then it’s nothing but sweet malt and crystal clear and clean refreshment. Hops, just slightly bitter, maintain a hold on the palate. I’ve never crazy on pilasters, never found enough to like in them. Perhaps I find them too one-dimensional, lacking certain elements I find in ales.
This, though, is damned good.
