FROM THE LABEL: " Southern Hemisphere Harvest Ale features fresh hops from New Zealand; where the annual fall hop harvest occurs during our spring . Brewing this beer is no easy task: we get fresh hops picked, dried, and shipped half way across the world and into our brew kettle in a little over a weeks time. The result is a North-by-South fusion of fresh New Zealand hops blended with the finest North American hops. Its robust hop character presents intriguing floral, citrus, and fruity aromas and fresh-hop spiciness.
Each fall, hops reach their peak flavor, bursting with aromatic oils that give ales layers of complex flavor that can only happen at harvest time. For us, fall comes twice a year- once in each hemisphere. This Harvest ale features fresh hops from New Zealand- where fall occurs during our spring. These fresh whole cones are picked, dried, and shipped to the brewery within days of the harvest."
FROM THE MOUTH: AMERICAN IPA: Wonderful blended, smooth yet chewable, well hopped ale. A stand out American Pale ale. I will definitely keep this one around. Very drinkable at 66 IBU's. A
FROM THE STORE: Martins Supermarket in South Bend, Indiana
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
