Oct 25, 2008 draft at the brewery. Gazed medium orange/brown. Fresh and green celery-sweet hop nose, sugared and fruity. Flavor is apples and pears, sweet and green, some mint and thyme. Not bad, seems like a fall ipa, some squash I guess in the whole veggie character.

Sep 13, 2008 Updated: Oct 28, 2009On tap at the brewpub. Nose is heavy in grasses and brass. Lots of metallic hop oils. Obviously fresh, but maybe of a hop variety that isn’t the most desirable. This really smells green. Pours a golden-orange, very hazed, a la many harvest-examples of this style, as this is. Flavor is generally fresh, but then really grows into an acidic metal monster. There’s a sense of some cleaning solution. Again, this really reads like somebody finishes this beer with a bunch of hops that nobody likes. Galena? Horizon? Ahthanum? It’s just hops used in the wrong way. Not bitter, just harsh and biting. Not a lot of the fresh, juicy refreshing hop flavor I want. Malt holds up, but it’s too late. Finishes dry, at least.
