Autumn Hop Harvest Ale is a fall seasonal from Toronto's Amsterdam Brewery. According to its 473mL can, this 5.6% alcohol ale is wet hopped
using fresh Ontario hops sourced from Clear Valley Hops to reach its 46
IBUs.
The beer proved to be a hazy gold grog and it
poured under a lush cloud of loose white foam. Upon cracking the can, I
was greeted with a snootful of grassy and hoppy aromas. The ale tasted
fresh and fine, with balanced bitterness in the form of mild evergreen
notes. Sadly, the flavour was delivered via a thin mouthfeel, though
things picked up a bit into the final stanza, with a bit more hoppiness.
Autumn
Hop Harvest Ale had many fine elements, but its watery consistency left
me a bit underwhelmed. It didn't have the pale ale crackle I was hoping
for, but it was still quite refreshing.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
