Castle Rock Harvest Pale Recipe

[AndyBWood]

Evening All,

After a far too long work induced break AG3 is calling and I’m especially liking Castle Rock Harvest Pale at the moment.

Found a few recipes on the site involving Pilot, Galena, and Cascade hops. The newly decorated bottle I’ve just picked up in Tesco, however, quotes :

Cascade
Centennial
Chinook

Anyone out there with experience of these care to take a punt at a recipe for me ? Looking for that light, pale, heady, hoppy, zingy, thing……..

Cheers and thanks in advance.

Those are some heavy hitting hops there!

I haven't had that beer so I don't know which is the dominant one. I grow Cascade and Centennial and they go quite well together. Chinook is a very aggressive hop though. It's quite "piney" and tends to dominate. If the beer has that pine resin character, I'd say they late hop with it. If it's more citrusy then there's probably more of the cascade and cent later in the boil.

Can you give any taste description on that beer?

Looks spot on to me!

2/3rds LCMO
1/3rd Lager malt.

I did some research and got hold of the head brewer a year after they won champion beer of Britain. Send me a DM with your email and I'll send over my brew sheet.

phettebs,

Purely in the interests of research.... just opened a bottle.....

Maybe just a hint of pine but definitely not the main characteristic. So, maybe as you say, Cascade and Centennial later on. Quite a ‘dry’ hop flavour and finish without being sharp.

Will have to get some of these hops on order and see what I can do with them. Thanks for the pointer on Chinook being the one to perhaps be careful with.

Cheers

Darcey,
