Commercial Description: "Fresh Hop Hazy IPA with Strata and Simcoe"
Where distributed: Oakshire Brewing is likely just found in the Pacific Northwest. Oakshire has their original spot in Eugene and a beer hall in Portland.
Smell (25%): Mostly citrus with complementing hop/malt. Slight dank presence. 4.25/5
Taste (40%): Largely follows the nose. Pleasing citrus/fruity experience with complementing hop and malt. Nice citrus on the back end. 4.25/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy with slight dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. I probably should have gotten to this one a lot earlier than when I drank it (drinking it several months after fresh hop season ended), but the beer held up well during that time. Hop Harvest is a solid pick with good fruity citrus presence throughout and bitterness held in check. It's not the biggest standout IPA, but it should land among my choices depending on what I saw on tap. 4/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.2/5
