Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Munster, Indiana USA

Very enjoyable harvest ale! Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours a golden brown color with a white head. Nose is amazing floral hops- I swear I can smell something like magnolia or honeysuckle. Very mellow on the bitter hops. Flavor is mellow, some citrus and pine, but mostly very gentle floral hops. Enjoyable and sessionable; changed my mind about Simcoe hops; much less aggressive than other Sincoe beers I have had.

Bomber courtesy of Taboot. Decent pine and some citrus notes for aroma. Copper body with off white thin head. Good citrus grapefruit flavor along with a suger sweetener. Dry carbinated bitter belch on the finish. Odd just had an IPA made with Simcoe hop and had the same rating pretty much.

Perfect deep amber and copper coloured body with a dense thick tan head and a nice ruby tint. Aroma of perfectly fragrant bitter hops, tucked in with flowers, pine, grapefruit and even more hops...smells amazing. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive hops up front with a metallic twang up front, fading to a smooth hop bitterness. Aftertaste shows a little alcohol and no sweetness. Not overly strong or bitter, just a mellow finish, especially compared to what the aroma suggests! Overall, a great beer - perfectly balanced, especially for a harvest. I was thoroughly impressed and would love to have another bottle of this one! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from West LakeView Liquors in Chicago, Illinois on 15-December-2008, sampled less than a month later at home in Washington.

Thanks to Bobby91w for the bottle - pours a hazy copper, with a soapy lace - those spicy, herbal, grassy new zealand hops really slam the nose - wonderful aroma - oh yea, those hops really shine here, sticking to a bready, and lightly fruity sweet base - loads of new zealand hop spice, with the earthy simcoe adding a nice depth of hop flavors - not terribly complex, but this is the kind of beer where you want to revel in the hops, and this does just that.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. light amber pour with a cream head that fades fast. citrus/grapefruit hops and esters on the nose. great thickness and a very smooth hop flavor. the finish is quite nice with no bitterness at all.

courtesy of Kiefdog. Thanks Kevin for yet another great beer. Is there any beer that 3F does wrong? Pours orange with white head. Aroma is hoppy, loaded with excellent floral and herbal addition. It really carries its name of Harvest Ale well, this is like breathing in a bag of fresh flowers and herbs. Taste is again hoppy with light malts. Fruity with some nice smooth citrus and grapefruit notes. Beer is extremely smooth, and amazingly enjoyable.

Bottle, courtesy kiefdog I believe. Pours a golden bronze, with a yellowish pale sheen, with thin white head and wet lacing. Big on hops in the nose, citrus, honey, some caramel. Flavor is bright, with bitter hops, crisp, honey, citrus and pine, some flowery notes. Drinkable, smooth, easy to put back a few. Surprisingly balanced despite the style.

Tasted 12/6/08. 22oz bomber. Filtered with a golden hue. Ring of off-white head. Bright hoppy nose. Touch candy, but mostly citrus with a touch woody. Medium bodied and big and fresh. Modest effervescence. Crisp and fresh with a bitter off-dry finish. Rolling hop overture. Notes of citrus apples and grapefruit. Totally money. 3F strikes again...
