Our Tastes-- Dočesná

Session number 38 out of 100, of Harpoon's 100 barrel series! I remember when the 1st one came out! Pours a nice medium brown with copper highlights and little white froth. Aroma is soft but has a very distinct hop to it. This entire series has been interesting. The bitterness lingers with a pleasant soft "pineness". The hop profile to this one seems to be the most interesting part of the beer. Dočesná is the Czech hop harvest festival, hence the beer type, but for a hop harvest beer it doesn't seem very "wet" like most. However, still a good brew even though brewed on 8/11/11 and bottled 8/25/11. Sládek hops from Zatec. A neat ale at 6.1%abv.
