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.

-i enjoy that it is lighter in color as compared to the darker IPA's you see now. more of a yellow without the orange or brown hue. the head was white and not very tall or long lasting
-the smell is very subtle, not one that you can smell by just pouring it. there is a little bit of citrus and a shade of pine
-there is a very light taste and not overpowering. again, a bit of citrus, but also some spicy, peppery taste as well. there is also some sweetness throughout the pour down the throat
-almost no carb bite involved and the body seems a lot lighter than it should be as well
-this is quite a sessionable IPA. there isn't a strong bitter finish and the flavor or body isn't too overpowering, making it a very drinkable and refreshing IPA

On tap, Mothership Series #24.
Pretty good. It's got a nice balance of hop Carmel and honeydew melon. Not super tasty, bright, vibrant honey dew melon. The more earthy, not quite bursting with flavor melon flavor. Subdued, but in a way that works well for this beer. Glad I got to try it.

Pours amber with a 1.5" white head, which lasts. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is floral, citrus, pine.
Taste is orange, papaya, light grapefruit, pine.
Medium body, moderate carbonation. Dry, resinous finish.
This is another outstanding IPA from Founder's.
