FFF BrooDoo Harvest Ale

According to the bottle... "BrooDoo Harvest Ale is a seasonal ale that glorifies American hops. BrooDoo is brewed using fresh green "wet" hops picked right from the vine and put into our beer vats, from vine to brewhouse in one day! BrooDoo also uses the best American malt money can but. Enjoy."


Broodoo is an awesome harvest ale... To be quite honest its probably hoppier than most IPA's. The hop aroma, the hop flavor, and the hop residuals are very powerful but not over whelming...

Harvest Ale

It pours a nice amber almost orange color with a nice head (don't let the pics deter you... I was slow to the camera) With a very strong citrus (grapefruit) and pine hop aroma it hints at what is to come...

The flavor is a great balance between biscuit maltiness and fresh wet hop bitterness... With the hops coming back after the swallow... This is a great everyday beer... but maybe its just me... I mean its only 5.5% and lets not forget about the label...

Trolls attack!!!!

With a label like that the beer had better be top notch to back it up... And this one succeeds!

Overall review...

Exceptional!!!

Had this for the first time a week ago and I agree, HOPS! I wasn't really expecting it, but I should have guessed coming from 3F's.

Good review there man. I know you like it..a little more than me but this years batch was better than lasts. Prob. cuz it was brewed on the new system.
