Commercial Description:
Our Harvest Ale was the first American beer ever brewed with 100% fresh picked, "wet hops." In just one day, we harvest hops in Yakima, WA, ship them that night to our brewery in Chico, CA, and then rush them into the brew kettle as they are unloaded at dawn the next day.

This extraordinary effort creates a beer with unmatched aromatics of pine and citrus with layers of spicey sweet notes that hop fanatic like us dream of all year. Enjoy!

Fairly standard IPA in my opinion. I thought it was fairly well balanced and didn’t offend me. I had it right after the Torpedo though, and that was a difficult beer to live up to. The little Harvest tried though!

Large bottle. An excellent IPA from an excellent brewery. Very drinkable and full of hop goodness. More affordable than some of the other hop monster beers out there.

(bottle from Garden of the Gods Liquor in Colorado Springs). Pours a clear copper color. Medium to large off white head. Strong citrus/grapefuit aroma. Strong hoppy taste with light bitterness. Long duration. Bitter finish. Slightly oily texture. Good lacing. Moderate carbonation.

This beer...is awesome. I was anxious to finally find this unique SN gem and luckily I did. The idea of "wet hops" really struck a chord with me considering many of my favorite IPAs or Pale Ales for that matter are made from pelleted hops. The oils from the day-old hops really make this beer taste "wet," like drinking a complex concoction of hop goodness with the light-hearted fluidity of water. And my goodness, what a head on this beer! The lacing told the story of my easy-drinking on this gem, as lines were left from top to bottom. Almost perfect.

On tap @ Taco Mac. Pours a light orange sunset color with compact white head. Hoppy and delicious. Nice balance between caramel malt sweetness and a citrusy hop bouquet. Pleasantly fragrant, with a full-bodied taste that matches the aroma for hoppiness. Fruity notes like mango and grapefruit. Another delicious IPA from Sierra Nevada. Bitterness is not a big factor in this brew. Just one 16 oz. shaker glass full got me a nice buzz and left my palate happy.
