love this, picked it up on impulse, it's made from fresh picked wet hops rushed straight to brewing, damn it's good, one of the best beers I've ever tasted, and the amazing thing is that it is strong, usually strong beers aren't the best tasting, I think they are on to somethng with this super fresh hops idea

The cornerstone of our Harvest series is the beer that started the modern-day fresh hop ale phenomenon in America, our original Harvest Ale.
Created in 1996, Harvest Ale features Cascade and Centennial hops from the Yakima Valley in Eastern Washington. These hops are harvested and shipped as “wet” un-dried hops—the same day they are picked—to our brewery in Chico where our brewers eagerly wait to get them into the brew kettle while their oils and resins are still at their peak
