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.

Found an old tasting note: orange colour with a fairly carbonated head. very floral hoppy aroma and a bit of leafy/vegetal note as well. I marked down that it had a sort of yeasty/banana note. medium bodied brew with creamy feel and slightly hoppy finish.

From notes. This guy pours a nice Burnt orange with a one finger white head that leaves really nice lacing. Nice tropical fruit aroma, tangerine, pineapple, and apricots. There are plenty of nice malt notes backing up all of those hops. Very nice flavor, the tropical fruit holds pretty strong, lots of tangerine with some nice malt in the body, clean bitter finish. Very tasty. The body is on the light side of medium, nice full carbonation. Overall an awesome brew, really tasty.

orange amber with a nice off-white head that is well-retained. Lacing sticks. The smell is of tangerines and grapefruit with pine and some grainy malt/slightly caramel backing. The taste is citric, pine and a carmelish grainy malt backing.

Overall a great beer. I love the hop mythos of the field to kettle in 4 hours. It makes a good (true) story. Aroma is sweet with notes of pine and citrus. Front of the pallete is tangy with great hop character. After taste is slightly astringent with fruit characteristics.

Draft at MarCellars. Orange-amber with a lasting quarter inch of head. Nose is orange, caramel, fresh green herbs. Flavor is the same. Light-medium body is well balanced, has medium carbonation and is very drinkable.

Aroma of grapefruit. I like this okay for a pale ale, which is not my favourite style, but I’d drink this one.

drpimento (1752) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 7, 2012
Refreshing new interpretation of a PA. Served a bit too cold, small off white head that settled to a light cover which lasts and lots of lace. Color is a clear amber. Aroma is a little mild and not much indication of the great itegrated flavors to come. Those flavors tend towards slightly bittersweet, wet hay, a little bit of weed, caramel and a crazy juxtaposition. Body is bang on. Finish has proof of greatness cause I want more. Excellent, drink the fuck out of it beer.
