Harvest Ale

IPA - American

Each fall, our brewhouse looks more like a greenhouse as thousands of pounds of wet hop cones arrive within hours of being picked by some of our favorite local hop growers. Acting quickly, we then load up these wet hops into what will become Harvest Ale – an impossibly aromatic and bright IPA bursting with fresh pine, melon and citrus notes. Our ode to the beauty that is the wet, American hop.

What a difference wet hopping makes. This is an amazing beer. Sweet, citrus and piney in perfect unison.

Def don't form opinions about this on a first sip. Is that the cone hop effect? So potent it warps time and space, bending ones initial perceptions, refracting, throwing shadows. Give it 10 min and 4 whole-mouth swallows to see what the fuss is about

Kinda reminds me of a juicy, lots of fresh hop flavor and very little bitterness
