HopTime Harvest Ale is a unique beer brewed just once a year using wet hops grown right here in Sonoma County. The exceptional hop aroma and flavor is attributed to the fact that wet hops are added to the kettle just hours after being harvested without being kiln dried. Additionally, we hold back a portion of the wet hops to add to the beer after the fermentation is complete to enchance the aroma even more. Distinctive aromatics and flavors from the wet hops differ from those found in dry hops because the volatile oils in wet hops are exactly as they were when hanging on the vine. Enjoy!
