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.

Wonderfully floral, spicy hop bite, but refreshing. Very well done Oktoberfest-type ale,

Bottled@Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grain, barley, some slight US hops as well as some floral notes. Flavour is barley, slight floral and fruity notes along with some mild hayish notes. Easy to drink and quite balanced. Nothing mindblowing though.

At first sight it looks like a very pale lager with not a lot of flavor. In fact, I expected a lot darker. But then the flavor. Apricot, peach, lot of orange fruits with just the right amount of bitterness. Best I’ve had in weeks.

clear yellow, smooth fine white head. very nice flowery hoppy aroma, with a little fruity sort of bitter peachy note to it too. fantastic aroma. some orange too. just after pouring the aroma is unbelievably strong, full and appetizing. flavor is sweet malty, and lots of pine , grapefruity bitter hops. alc is low and hidden, this is dangerously easy to drink. faint sugary sweetness too. damn this is good. lots of hops and flavor for a 5.7% abv beer. quenching .. way too bad this bottle is only like 35 cl or so.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear golden with a diminsihing white head. Sweet with hoppy aromas. Some dryness. Also some aromas of malts and caramel. Medium to light bodied. Soft carbonation. Dry finish with sugary hoppy aromas. Tastes a bit like a watered down Unearthly. Good.

Flaske: Flot orange øl med et lille skumhoved. Klar. Duft af humle, mango, appelsin og en smule citrus. Smagen er meget humlet igen med mango og en smule citron. Let bitter med en blød mundfylde. Rigtig god og lækker øl.
