Harvest Ale
From 12oz bottle to Bruges hybrid glass on 9/28/11 *From notes A: Clean and dark sappy amber. A two finger head is the product of a good pour. Mediocre lacing and retention. S: Olde timey hops and bread. Really bready, in fact. T: A bit of pumpernickel and bitter hops. No juiciness or tropical notes here. The breadiness is present all over the palate too. Really? We're calling this a "Harvest IPA?" M: Meh, it's ok. It's not that it feels improper, it just feels ok at best. O: Weyerbacher's Harvest Ale is more then the biggest fresh harvest disappointment I've come across, it's disappointing in just about every facet. What's the purpose of this beer if not to show off the harvest's best, juicy hops? Either the brewery got screwed, or they're screwing the consumer. I'd pass if I were you.
