Each fall, our brewhouse looks more like a greenhouse as thousands of pounds of wet hop cones arrive within hours of being picked by some of our favorite local hop growers. Acting quickly, we then load up these wet hops into what will become Harvest Ale – an impossibly aromatic and bright IPA bursting with fresh pine, melon and citrus notes. Our ode to the beauty that is the wet, American hop.

Draught. Golden orange pour with big white head. Choppy aroma. Earthy but very clean finish and not overly grapefruitish

Bottle from Schroppfy, thanks! Blonde, hazy. Melon, grapefruit and pineapple in the strong aroma. Firm grassy hopbitter flavor with melon and pineapple. The grassy hopbitternes and the fruit coincide well. Well made beer.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass. Appearance is clear, light brown/dark yellow, no sparkle, 1/2-finger width off-white head, foamy/fizzy, fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is west coast danky citrus bitter, with milder herb on the cannabis side, and candied sugar. Taste is dank, resiny herbal bitter with sweet citrus and sugary balance. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not bad, but was hoping for wet hop juicy citrus/fruit vs. strong danky bitter. I guess it was just the wrong wet hop.

Bottle from Boise Co-op. Hazy orange golden, small bubbly head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy, hint of pine. Hops move to the front in the taste, citrus lingering behind. A bit of sticky bitterness, orange peel.

A bring-home 12 oz bottle obtained at Total Wine on a March Madness trip to Las Vegas last week. Generally Founders does me right so I bought without a second thought. Crack the bottle open and tilt into my ABGB tulip glass, Here comes an opaque, darkish orange body topped by a slender, almost pure white head. The scent, some light fruit, wheat, kinda sweet smelling, where is this going? The taste will say. Totally different than the nose I estimate. A distinct hop presence, pine, grain, bit-o-honey. Ending with a fair bitterness but far from a bomb. Not bad, not great. It just is.
