Our handmade Estate Ale highlights the flavors of home. From the sun-drenched fields of California’s North Valley comes our Estate Ale. It’s rich with the flavors of the valley—hops with earthy, grapefruit-like flavors and layered spicy aromas, and barley with mild sweetness and smooth, toasted flavors. Enjoy this remarkable homegrown ale, made with organic wet hops and barley grown at our brewery in Chico, and one of the few estate-made ales produced anywhere in the world. Together, these crops grow alongside the brewery to make a truly unique brew.

Bottle: I’ve never had a beer that so matched up with the description on the label. So... go ahead and read it. Beautiful copper color and a huge beige head. Tons of thick, sticky lacing. Nice wet hops feel. It’s Good.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 26 Sep 2008. At least I think it was this version of the Harvest Ale) Amber colour with rocky, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of toffee, caramel, orange peel and apricots. Fruity, malty taste with orange peel, apricots and a dry, citrussy, resiny bitterness in the finish. Above medium body, balanced sweetness. Lots of taste and everything in stunning balance. Brilliant beer!
