September is harvest time in the Yakima Valley where the bulk of America’s hops are grown. We had freshly-harvested Cascade hops air freighted to us to add a special finish to this special harvest beer. We complemented the cascade ?lwet hop?L flowers in the hop back with Northern Brewer pellets in the kettle and Chinook flowers in the dry-hop for a complex hop profile. Pale Ale malt and a variety of caramel malts lay a rich malt foundation and give this ale its deep red color too. Now, as we reach October and the harvest nears completion, we have this to remember it by. O.G. ?I 16.4/1066. Hops - 50 IBUs
