Hop Knife Harvest Ale recognizes the tradition of hand-harvesting hops at their peak. Our HopCyclone process creates a spiral of hop dispersal during fermentation, releasing a bounty of citrus, resin & tropical aromas. #3 of 4 in our Hop Cycle seasonal series.

A: Pours a nice lightish amber with a short, whitish head that fades to a nice lace.
S: Huge citrus with orange and grapefruit, followed by some piney hops and resinous character. What I look for in an IPA, clearly this is fresh.
T: Delicious orange, mango and grapefruit with some pine but the citrus fruit dominates, a touch of sweet malt comes through.
M: Medium bodied and smooth with moderate carbonation and mild but noticeable bitterness and crispness in the finish.
O: Very solid IPA, nice "fresh hop" style and I'm glad I tried it fresh!

Very simple and very balanced. Clear, amber color; big, white head. Citrus and pine in aroma. Nice, hoppy bitterness in taste, a hint of sweetness. Well done!

Very nice IPA! Served on tap in a shaker pint. Coppery in color with and off white head, bear clear. Nice aromas of citrus: grapefruit and mandarin orange, some crackery malt. Big juicy citrus flavors with a nice bitter kick against bready malt.

Poured into a tumbler from a can. Rich amber in color. White head, thick at first dissipating. Always present. A lot of resin, pine needles, forest. Overall, good IPA, very straightforward, true to the style.

Certainly a harvest ale, but well hopped so none of that cloyingly sweet mealtimes. Good carbonation and a light copper color. Very refreshing beer. Tastes like Fall.
