Oct 16, 2009 Tallahassee, Fl - Market Square Liquors - 24 oz bomber. Dark copper pour, thick, sticky slightly off-white head that leaves generous lacing. Good strong spruce aroma with floral hints. Flavor is bold and bitter with a good citrusy grapefruit bite, some maple syrup, and a hint of caramel. Thick, sticky mouthfeel. Very decent.

Oct 15, 2009 the aroma is kinda of funk with almost a sulfur smell. taste is harsh with lots of hops
malts are weak but gives a standard amount of flavor for the beer of this style.

Oct 15, 2009 The aroma is very hoppy with grass, citrus, pine, malt, and yeast. The appearance is deep amber with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bitter finish. The palate is smooth. Overall this is a bit of a disappointment.

Oct 13, 2009 Best Sierra Nevada brew that I have tried. Intense herbal hop aroma and taste. Reddish amber color. Medium body.
This smells and tastes FRESH. I believe that they they take the "estate" concept of growing everything on their own property seriously!

Oct 13, 2009 I was excited to try this but was kinda let down. It was just ok. I enjoyed the southern hemisphere more. Poured an amber color with thin white head. Aroma of faint citrus hops and caramel sweetness. Taste of pine hops, caramel, with small amount of bitterness. Medium carbonation.

Oct 12, 2009 I was actually really disapointed. These Harvest beers have been nothing but incredible, until I tasted this one, bummer.
Aroma- Pine, bread crust, green apple esters, but Pine hops dominate, fairly sharp as well.
Appearance- Clear, Amber, light tan head is rocky. Appearance is probably the best aspect of the beer.
Taste- Extremely bitter. Hops are sharp and tangy, not floral or citric. Little sweetness and medium malt flavor, like toast. Bitterness is hard to get around.
Palate- Medium body, moderate carbonation. Sharp, bitter taste makes it hard to drink.
Overall- Did I get a rough bottle? It wasn’t very good. Maybe I’ll try to grab another. These Sierra Nevada harvest beers usually get gulped up, I had to choke this one down.
