12. Pours a murky dark burnished amber with a loose and bubbly white head. Loose strings and sheets of lace on the sides of the glass. Nice piney, caramelly nose. Creamy medium body with lively carb. Toast, nuts, caramel, and pine on the mid-palate. Bottom line, a comfortingly familiar and well-executed APA. Would happily drink again, especially in session volumes at session prices.

Deep amber hued straw body with a lasting white head. Light grainy malt complex of toasted bread and slight caramel - perhaps a biscuity quality. Mostly dry with mild carbonation. Stale hop presence with a grassy note. Came across more like and English pale.

Bottle served in a shaker. Pours very clear and very orange with a short off-white top. Decent retention. Good grassy hop aromatics to this solid APA. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation. Sweet flavor followed quickly by a smooth and long bitter finish.

Bottle, brought back from Washington for me by my friend Rachel. Pours clear amber/orange, medium white head, quite persistent, lacing is good to excellent. Nose is sweet citrus, very "juicy" hop aromas here, with plenty of spicy Cascade/Centennial spiciness, keeps me interested. Some light malt notes here as well, along with some light florals, and some grassy notes, very well balanced. Flavours are again quite balanced, sweet "juicy" citrus from the hops again, as well as some nice malt sweetness, very soft and honey-like, with some more florals. The more I drink this, the more I like it. A very solid American Pale, wish it was available locally.

The Harvest Pale Ale satisfied what I was expecting from it. I placed it around an average rating because I didn’t taste anything that stood out as exceptional. None the less this beer is worth trying.

on tap-pours an off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is pine/sweet citrus, some light/medium malt. Taste is pine/sweet citrus hops, secondary light/medium malt-caramel. Easy. OK effervescence.

On tap at the brewery. Tasty pale ale with a big hop bouquet. Lots of pine hop character in this as well, but still remains balanced. This was right up there with the IPA for best on the tray.

From a growler filled today. Amber color with a modest head and lacings. Floral, fruity aroma. Taste is bitter orange with a malt profile that barely supports the hops. Hops are bitter, somewhat piney, and quite fresh tasting. Some earthiness in the palate. Decent APA, very drinkable.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the brewery. Good stuff. Pours almost a deep golden brown with orange hints. Very light aroma mainly consisting of fairly sweet malts. Flavor is inviting, and gets right into the pale aspect of things right away. Almost a burnt hop flavor exists, but its good, and draws you back for more. VERY piney - the body, the finish, the flavor. Burnt pine...yes, and then sour pine towards the finish that lingers (I’m noticing they’re good at finishes here). Good stuff, wonder how it is bottled.
