Commercial Description:
Part of the Bond Street Series. This Fresh Hop Pale Ale is all about celebrating the hop harvest in the fall. Fresh picked hops have to be added to the brew immediately and in abundance. Roughly 270 pounds of Crystal hops from Doug Weathers' farm outside Salem, Oregon will be added to the 50 barrel batch in addition to some dry kilned whole flower hops. That adds up to approximately 5.5 pounds of hops per barrel brewed.

Thanks turdferguson for sharing. Pours a clean copper with some haze. The head is one finger thick frothy and offwhite. Thenose is fruity, fresh, mildly resionous hop feel, ctirusy, sweet malt backbone, some orange peel. The flavor has a very nice mild balancing hop bitterness, some bubblegum character, sweet malt character, less hop flavor but a very nice presence. Palate is nice and balanced.

Bottle on 11/12/2008. Very clear golden amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet grassy and floral hop aroma with some caramel background. Sweet grassy and slightly bready flavor. Medium light body with moderate carbonation and fairly easy to drink.

Bottle from hopscotch. Pours with an off-white, smallish head that subsides over a glowing hazed orange body with decent lacing. Aroma of fresh and fruity hops with orange and a bit of minerals or rock smell. Taste is fresh and chewy hops, fruity and floral yet finishes quite sweet. Lively bubbles but a watery mouthfeel. Well crafted.

Bomber from Jake65 - thanks! Lightly hazed amber with a nice eggshell head. Malty nose, pine, earth and light citrus. Pleasant Mandarin orange flavor, slightly earthy and a bit of pine over caramel. Well balanced and very drinkable. Mildly earthy finish. Nice drippy lace. Sessionable as hell.

Bottle. Pours a nice pale orange body, very translucent, with a thick off-white head with decent retention. Light notes of citrus peel and grapefruit fill the nose. Great up front hoppy dry flavor of pine needles and grapefruit. Very bitter finish that is uncharacteristic or unexpected, at least. Finishing each sip makes me want to swallow twice.

Courtesy Mr. Stitch. I wasn’t a big fan of this. Seemed thin and weak. Aroma was stale hops but very faint. Pour was a nice medium amber with a 2 finger off white head. Taste was very neutral. There was a thin pine hoppiness to it but it didn’t carry through to the aftertaste. Decent carbonation, but it didn’t make this beer more drinkable.
