COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Part of the Bond Street Series. This Fresh Hop Pale Ale is all about celebrating the hop harvest in the fall. Fresh picked hops have to be added to the brew immediately and in abundance. Roughly 270 pounds of Crystal hops from Doug Weathers' farm outside Salem, Oregon will be added to the 50 barrel batch in addition to some dry kilned whole flower hops. That adds up to approximately 5.5 pounds of hops per barrel brewed.

Great brew. Bottle share. Pale almost thin orange color with a well develop off white head. clean and crisp with undertones of grapefruit and citrus. Well balanced with some subtle spice and a bit of biscuit. Great bottle, very subtle flavor

For the style, one of the best I’ve had. It pours a slightly hazy amber with a lacing head. The aroma has some floral hops, caramel, a bit of booze and some grass. The flavor has the same but also has a very nice fruitiness to it that makes it quite refreshing. Very dry, crisp and clean.

Nice pour, big head...good resinous, citrus hop aroma, some caramel malt and a hint of spice. Flavor is juicy, hoppy, very refreshing. Good beer.

22oz. Pours with an off-white copper color, smallish head with decent lacing. Aroma of fresh and fruity hops with orange and a bit of minerals or rock smell. Taste is fresh and chewy hops, fruity and floral yet finishes sweet. Well crafted.

Pours an orange color with a slight hop smell to it. Has a citrus hop taste that follows with a slight bitterness. It’s like a light IPA.

Bottle. I like Deshutes a lot, but I wasn’t a big fan of this one. Not much aroma, and the flavor was a bit of citrus with an oily mouthfeel.

Decent beer all around. Nothing that really stood out, I was disappointed. I have only had a few beers from this brewery but so far mirror pond and hop trip both seem very watered down
