Commercial Description:
Our Harvest Ale was the first American beer ever brewed with 100% fresh picked, "wet hops." In just one day, we harvest hops in Yakima, WA, ship them that night to our brewery in Chico, CA, and then rush them into the brew kettle as they are unloaded at dawn the next day.

This extraordinary effort creates a beer with unmatched aromatics of pine and citrus with layers of spicey sweet notes that hop fanatic like us dream of all year. Enjoy!

(Bottle, 2008 harvest) Amber colour with firm, beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of pine needles, orange peel, grapefruit and fresh hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with pine needles, resin, citrus peel, grapefruit, caramel and generous doses of fresh hops in a long bittersweet finish. Slightly above medium body. Lovely beer with a fresh and tasty hop character.

24 oz bottle from local grocery. Deep amber pour with 2 inch off white head. Aroma a good blend of caramel malt and grassy hops. Flavor much the same, possibly a little too muted for me. Earthy hop notes as well.

Fairly standard IPA in my opinion. I thought it was fairly well balanced and didn’t offend me. I had it right after the Torpedo though, and that was a difficult beer to live up to. The little Harvest tried though!

Large bottle. An excellent IPA from an excellent brewery. Very drinkable and full of hop goodness. More affordable than some of the other hop monster beers out there.
