The end of August marks the beginning of Fall in the High Sierra and with the cold nights comes Harvest time. Owens Valley Black IPA is our original harvest beer using fresh wet Cascade hops from local hop farmers Banner Springs Ranch. THese hops come straight from the fields and go into the kettle within 24 hours, keeping all the lovely hop oils pristine and intact for your enjoyment. Brewed with Dark malts and tons of hops, OVWH is a hearty beer perfect for fall barbecues.
Ingredients: hops, malted barley, water.

Look: dark, almost black. Nice head when poured from bottle.
Smell: strong hop smell, some oils/ botanicals present, possibly from being wet hopped. Notes of caramel, somewhat sweet.
Taste: absolutely delicious, excellent balance of darker malt while not over riding flavor or nose of hops. Great blend of malt and hop characteristics, smooth flavor start to finish, with a good amount of crispness.
Feel: very smooth in the mouth, very smooth swallow. Good amount of carbonation and crisp happiness reminding you its a black ale, not a porter.
Overall: excellent example of the style, my favorite offering from Mammoth so far. Very tasty beer with a nice amount of depth to it.
