The second of three locally-grown green hopped ales. This is an IPA-styled ale brewed with over 100 lb. of fresh-picked local green hops from Greenaway Farms in Jersey Shore, PA. Well-balanced and floral, a great fall harvest ale!

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer poured a copper orange color with a bit of a haze. Upon serving there was a tiny white head floating atop the brew. The head faded very fast, leaving only a trace level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma was mainly of a bready and biscuit smell with a strong crackery malt aroma as well. Mixed with the malty smells are a good dose of floral hops as well as a bit of a more earthy and citrus hop smell. Rounding out all the aromas is a little bit of sweetness of a caramel nature bringing a nice balance to the hop and malt.
Taste – The taste begins with a bready and biscuit flavor mixed with a bit of caramel sweetness. In the beginning there is also a decent showing of a more citrus grapefruit hop bitterness. As the taste moves on the caramel flavors are replaced by a drier cracker flavor with some other hop flavors of an earthy nature come to the tongue. With and intensifying of the grapefruit hop flavors, as well as an arrival of some light floral hop flavors that come to the tongue at the end, a nice drier and malty hopped flavor is left to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the medium to slightly lighter side for a brew of 6.9 % with a carbonation level that is rather average. The slightly thinner body in conjunction with the more average carbonation are rather nice of creating a more crisp taste, which complements the drier and hopped nature of the taste profile quite well.
Overall – A rather enjoyable fresh hopped IPA. This is much better than their first Greenaway hopped ale. Bigger in malt and much, much bigger in good hop flavor. A crisp and fresh tasting IPA.
