IPA No. 2 is Harvester Brewing’s new, aggressively hoppy, IPA. It is a different turn for Harvester as it incorporates organic buckwheat in lieu of the chestnuts used in all of Harvester’s previous brews.

Harvester Brewing owner and head of R&D James Neumeister said, "We also decided to put all of the ’hoppiest gluten-free beer’ claims to rest for now with this beer by using over a pound per BBL of high alpha acid Newports and bright, citrusy Crystal hops from the Willamette Valley." The result is 90 IBUs of intense hoppy bitterness and a strong hop aroma loaded with grapefruit, pineapple, and lemongrass.

[ I unverified the beer for reconsideration. To me, the "Speciality grain" here is the vessel for the GF target, not the flavor that the brewer choses to underscore; I think IPA would be more appropriate. Your call. Thanks. Alex, June 2014 ]
