Each fall, our brewhouse looks more like a greenhouse as thousands of pounds of wet hop cones arrive within hours of being picked by some of our favorite local hop growers. Acting quickly, we then load up these wet hops into what will become Harvest Ale – an impossibly aromatic and bright IPA bursting with fresh pine, melon and citrus notes. Our ode to the beauty that is the wet, American hop.

poured from a 12 oz bottle to a tulip glass.
A- crystal clear, golden orange, very apple juice looking, 1 finger white fluffy head that soon thins to a line around the glass.
S- Big floral hops at first, followed by a spicy citrys hops, juicy mango and peaches, and a slight bud resin on the end.
T- Sweet, tangy and bitter. Sweetness from the sugary malts mixed with a barrage of hops, mango, peach, grapefruit, just a hop assult on your tongue. The finish is a nice asprin/grapefruit peel bitter.
M-Light bodied, this sucker wreaks of drinkability, couldnt belive it was 6.5%, very light and refreshing, medium carbonation, drinks sweet finishes dry and bitter.
O- Another great beer out of Michigan. This is a great IPA, awesome hop burst for any hop head to enjoy.

On tap, Mothership Series #24.
Pretty good. It's got a nice balance of hop Carmel and honeydew melon. Not super tasty, bright, vibrant honey dew melon. The more earthy, not quite bursting with flavor melon flavor. Subdued, but in a way that works well for this beer. Glad I got to try it.

Pours amber with a 1.5" white head, which lasts. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is floral, citrus, pine.
Taste is orange, papaya, light grapefruit, pine.
Medium body, moderate carbonation. Dry, resinous finish.
This is another outstanding IPA from Founder's.
