Before our brewery even opened we set out to establish a one acre hop yard on our farm. Each year we have a harvest festival where we invite community members to help pick our hops as we brew a harvest ale-mixed fermentation table beer with the wet hops right off of the bine. The result is a well balanced table beer with both funk and a pleasing acidity that can develop over time.

Draught at EBF, 2/3/17.
Lightly hazy, pale-blonde-flaxen body shows a small, but firm white head atop.
Perfume and grass emanate from what must be the hop and Brett interplay. There’s some cereal character and lots of house yeast character (sweat, mineral, funk, hard to describe exactly) that is quite pleasant but I don’t know what’s going on here, but it fares about the same as the previous year’s; that is to say, very bready, grassy, perfumey and just too strange. No alcohol or brewing flaws.
It continues in the mouth, with too much tartness and twangy brett giving that real bready/spongey, almost astringent finish with cereal grain, lilac, honey, white bread and more hop bitterness lingering. Doesn’t add up at all and comes off much too brash and messy which is surprising given its size. Very expansive, strong carbonation does not make matters any better.

Draft @ Extreme Beer Fest, 4 Feb, 17. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow. Aroma is lightly fruity with a weak yeast culture. Subtle Brett.
The flavor is more tart rather than straight up sour. Starts tart and then fizzles off after the sip. This is a little thin in the body mouthfeel. However, the fruit and mild funk in the center gives it a decent balance.

On tap at the Modern Times Festival of Funk. It pours a bright yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is grainy and a little soapy. The flavor is mildy tart and a bit watery on the palate. Some hints of funk in the finish. Light bodied. Just ok.

Draught at Lower Depths, 11/14/16.
Classic New England soup-like cloudiness appearance with a bright golden and fiery orange tint. White head fades to a ring quickly.
Very perfumey in the nose with lots of floral suggestions. Quite lilac-y. Where I’d really like some soft honey notes to balance this, it instead seems extremely dry, leaving nearly husky/papery cracker and biscuit-like malt notes. Gains some balance with warming and breathing, as expected, providing some deeper, juicier citrus and tons of dank, almost earthy hop characteristics. Very, very light on the (assumedly) brett character. No alcohol or flaws.
Similar flavor profile, with a heavy, heavy attenuation and dry, somewhat scratchy, cracker-like malts not providing enough balance for the sharp, perfumey hop and brett acids to sink in to. Some softer dextrins are noted with warming, however, and as in the nose, more complexity comes out as well. Pretty well-executed, other than being a bit overattenuated, but I’m not sure how well a mixed ferm wet hop beer works, overall.
