Like a kid on Christmas morning.
That’s how we describe the mood around here the day our freshly harvested citra hops arrive from the Pacific Northwest. After all, it’s this precious cargo that lets us start brewing our Harvest Ale every fall. The addition of wet hops is what gives this beer its extra vibrant flavor–which makes the long wait for those hops worth it. It’s just too bad harvest day comes only once a year.
Upland Brewing Co. announced today that Harvest Ale will be available on draught and in 4-packs starting in early-mid October. Harvest Ale is an American Pale Ale by design, but an even more vibrant rendition by loading up our hopback with freshly harvested Citra hops.
Beer Description: An American Pale Ale by design with a hop back of freshly harvested Citra hops. Expect huge wafts of tropical fruit notes, balanced by a moderate bitterness and light tasted malt character. A showcase for one of our favorite ingredients and a delight for all the hopheads.
ABV: 5.5 IBU: 62 SG: 14 SRM: 13
