Commercial Description:
Harvest Ale is our celebration of the changing weather and the sowing of hops and barley that will be used in our upcoming brews. We usher in the fall with a classic English style Extra Special Bitter of the highest order. Deep ruby in color with an even deeper hop flavor… in fact, we throw fresh English hops into every brewing vessel, then dry hop after fermentation to impart a zesty kick. This beer has real hop character that mingles with fresh malted barley for an experience that will make you wish it were fall year ‘round.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours clear, dark golden with a fine, creamy, white head. Lovely hoppy aroma. Lots of grapefruit, light piney, peach and oranges. Medium carbonation, finde creamy mouthfeel. Light dryness. Flavour starts with a lots of fat maltiness, rather sweet, some caramel. Then a lots of grapefruity, resiny hops. Light oranges and lots of dryness in the rather long finish. Nice.

BOTTLE: clear light gold color, very mild hop nose. Taste is hop, citrus, a little malt that adds a bit of body as well. Easy drinking, but keeps some depth of flavor. I’m a fan.

From a bottle on 11/01/09, pours a beautiful gold color. No head that sticks around at all on the pour. In the aroma it is as if you get a nice smell of some fresh hops along with almost a smell of fall in a way. On the palate you get hops, very balanced hops from the front through the finish. Leaves the palate but who cares it goes down so damn easy. Great beer to just throw back if you are in that type of mood.

Bottled. A golden beer with a lazing, bubbly off-white head. The aroma has strong notes hops, oranges, and malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of hops - American hops - Cascade, lending it notes of grapefruit and peaches, combined with notes of caramel and malt, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Nice.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a clear golden with a rough white head. Extremely citrusy nose - very fresh. Medium body, a little sweet fruitiness and a dry and rather hoppy finish. Delicious, but nowhere near an ESB! 091109

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours clear gold with a small white head that leaves some light lacing behind. Hoppy aroma with citrus, grass, pine, and honey. The flavor follows suit, hoppy, earthy, citrusy, and bitter. Light bodied, well-balanced, and crisp. Straightforward, excellent example of the style.
