Commercial Description:
Harvest Pale Ale is our fall seasonal ale that is brewed with fresh picked Cascade hops. We brew American pale ale and add 50 lbs of fresh hops to the beer while it is being transferred to the fermenter. This adds a very unique hop aroma to our pale ale. These hops are different than any other time of the year because hops must be dried and processed to allow them to be stored for up to a year until needed. Our Harvest Pale Ale hops are picked off the vine and shipped overnight to be used the next day. These fresh hop cones are only available one week of the brewing year.

On draught at the brewery/restaurant in downtown Billings, Montana. Pours a clear golden pale blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that has some spotty lacing and white ring. Aroma of light bready malt, plenty of citrus zest, some sweetened grapefruit and a touch of dried spice. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a citrusy bitter malt flavor that has some kick to it. Finish is slightly bitter with a lingering mild hop aftertaste. A fine dry American Pale Ale with a terrific hop character.
