Central Waters Hop Harvest

Brewed by Central Waters Brewing Co.
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Amherst, Wisconsin USA

22 oz bottle from Chicones. Yellow pour with a very foamy head, good lacing. Very slight hop aroma. This stuff looks and smells like a lager. Taste is like a slightly hopped lager. I never would have guessed this was a wet-hopped IPA. This honestly tastes like a mixup in the brewery. I want my $3.99 back.

Pours a transparent deep golden with a thin covering of wispy white head. Aroma of fresh grassy hops with a touch of grapefruity and semi-sweet pale maltiness. Starts with pretty good fullness and a lightly sugary malty sweetness with a resiny piny hop bitterness and mild citrus before a drier crisp hoppy finish. Could use more aromatic grapefruity hops, but still a pretty good hoppy pale ale.

Thanks for sharing, bro! Pours a light amber color with a medium off-white head which leaves a few streaks of lacing. Aroma has decent caramel malts, floral hops, and some moderate citrus. Taste is much the same. It is very balanced without going overboard into your typical Midwest/California IPA.

Pours a hazy golden color with medium bubbly white head. Aroma is of light honey, floral hops, and mild sweet malt. Taste is grainy malt, honey, light fruit, citrus hops, and light candied sugar. Taste is a bit abrupt at first with a nutty malt which finishes off like a sweet-tart. Good sessionable beer.

Bottle. Pour is light cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is yesty, bready, malty, light hops, light citrus, and light hay. Flavor is similar to aroma. Just too much yeast and not enough hops. The finish does have a bit of a resinous hop kick, but the yeasty bready flavors take over. Hmm, not one of this breweries better efforts.

Golden in color with a slight head. Pine and citrus aroma. Mild hop flavor with a balanced finish.

Bomber. Poured light orange/straw golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up dusty earth and dank floral character over honey and toasted grains.. this was truly unpleasant. The flavor really wasn’t any better.. honey, pale malts, and toasted grains at the core with earth, dry floral, and peppery bitterness around.. sharp finish with tacky bitterness and boozage. Light-bodied and bitter, but with no direction on the palate.. never felt or tasted good. I’m sorry to whoever receives a box from me in the next few days with one included.

Straw to golden in color with a creamy, meringue looking head and a nice vale of lace. Grainy aromas. Husky with some grape skin qualities. LIght grainy sweetness in the front greeted by earthy green hops. Apple peel and lightly toasted grain join in toward the finish. Very smooth feel, with just enough zip to give it some life. This one seems so close in many areas, but just misses the mark. Has a light earthy pale malt linger that shows its potential.
