#25 Harvest Ale

Currently don't have the ingredients/details...since it's seven months after brewing that this update is going in...but I need to find. This beer was amazing and had 1.5-2 lbs of fresh wet hops throughout the boil!! Started out grassy, but after 1 month of aging, it balanced extremely well.
