Cascade First Harvest 2012

It seems harvest beers are becoming a bit more widely used, even if at times they have nothing to do with the harvest.

This at least is a faithful brew using fresh picked hops of the season and as a result it's a distance better than the other recently reviewed macro seasonal. There's not a lot of floral / fruity character but it's a bit more bitter than typical, and pretty rounded and drinkable throughout.

Probably still not a real 'gateway' to craft beer as such, but much better than average and I'd be happy enough putting these away if they were free of charge. Leaves me with some confidence this was a genuine effort rather than a cynical cash in. 4.5
