Growler fill from the brewery. So cool that anyone with homegrown hops could bring them in and contribute to this beer! Thanks beerdrinker79 for growing them and letting me come help you pick them off the bines, even if we were hungover. And big thanks to the brewers who gave us free growler fills for bringing in the hops. Pours hazy burnt orange to amber with a long-sustaining off-white head that leaves patterns of lace all the way down the glass. Aroma is bready, earthy, floral, light perfume, lemon, and an interesting fresh picked vegetable aroma that’s a bit like celery or sugar snap peas. Taste is medium-high-level bitter backed by an almost candy-like sweetness. Body is medium, average carbonation. Overall, a nice beer and definitely not your traditional fresh hop ale. As a sidenote, the two pounds of hops we contributed were a mixture of Cascade, Centennial, and Zeus. I wonder how many different varieties ended up in this brew?
