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.

Another great fall beer style! Even better when just tapped today. Amazing aromatics of pine, citrus, and subtly floral. Fresh hop Flavor that matches the aromatics along with a just enough malt with clean/crisp body to make it balanced.

The one downside to harvest ales…you gotta drink them quick. Sadly My last bottle. All the flavors and smells of fresh hops is still there, just slightly less bright.
