J.W.Lees Harvest Ale is only brewed once a year for release on December 1. It is a Limited Edition Vintage to celebrate the first brew from each year’s harvest of barley and hops. Fermentation is induced by J.W.Lees’ distinctive three-strain top-fermenting yeast. J.W.Lees Vintage Harvest Ale reaches 11.5 % alc./vol. once completely attenuated with a natural fermentation in open copper lined fermenting vessels that were commissioned in 1876 when the brew house was refurbished.
Nose: is sweet with apricots, apple, and honeydew with caramel undertone.
