 5000 (2400), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
Jan 1, 2008
Bottle: Vibrant straw, while remaining very hazy, large frothy white head, sticky lacing. Pine resin and hops on the nose.
Smells... fresh! Smooth on the tongue, very smooth. Subtle hop presense, some citrus peel, very minor, along with even
minor pine. Clean, super duper clean. Lingers in the back of the mouth, but not so much on the tongue. Bitterness is very
subtle, making this one very easy to kill quickly, too quickly. 7% ABV is well hidden. This one is even a little dry. Good
body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, as creamy as one can usually get for a good Pale Ale. Very minor citrus peel lingers. Good stuff,
just a notch above Bridgeports Hop Harvest me thinks because of its cleaniness and body/mouthfeel. Both great beers. Mucho
thanks to Styles for the trade!

Sep 6, 2008 Thanks, Bri! Light, hazy golden with huge head. Crisp apple and light citrus with a significant bitterness and a bit of spicy hops. Apple comes through in the aroma and taste more than I’d like. Heavy carb on this bottle...by the sound of it, thought it was going to overflow after opening. I remember liking this much more previously, so I’m going to be kind and also re-visit w/ a fresh sample sometime soon. With this bottle, just not much to like.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle from the Detroit Destroyer nbutler11 - his will be done. Aroma is so nice there could be more of it - very smooth flavor of orange zest, apple, light bitterness with yeast on the exhale. A damn fine summertime drink and my favorite Harvest since HopTrip.

Aug 6, 2008 Poured a golden color from the bottle with a thick white head. Plenty of hops and citrus in the aroma. Smooth, thick body with the mild bitterness of hops, cream, and orange peel. Highly drinkable.
