pilsnerrogge (1770), Finspång, Sweden May 1, 2009 Bottled: Appearance: Dark amber/orange with a slight haze. Big, rocky head. Good lacing. Aroma: Leafy, resiny hops. Flavour: Loads of resiny hops, long bitterness. Palate: The long hoppy bitterness makes this beer very more-ish.. Overall: Maybe not the most complex IPA, but definitley worth looking for. monkeychugg55 (214), Joliet, Illinois, USA May 1, 2009 This is my favorite of the Sierra harvest bombers. Packed to the gills with hops and balanced well. Not as expensive as most whole hop bombers too. jonno (542), Brisbane, Australia Apr 30, 2009 This is a tongue coater..I can still taste it. Poured beautifully, like other sierra nevada products. They do froathy head like no one else. The body is quite smooth but with a floral aftertaste that didn’t quite sit so well with me. Obviously a quality beer, but not something I would seek out fidelis83 (709), Clinton, Iowa, USA Apr 28, 2009 Pours slightly hazy copper with a tall light caramel head that has great retention and leaves very nice lacing. Aroma is caramel, toffee, fruity floral hops, light on the pine and citrus, aroma is weak for an IPA but inviting. Flavor is caramel, light buttery toffee, pine, a little citrus, toasted sweet grain, some earthy notes and mild planty hops. Finish is mildly bitter with a hint of earth and citrus. Palate is medium-thin with a smooth carbonation and slightly astringent feel. Good stuff, very enjoyable and well balanced. Blaketj80 (78), Oklahoma, USA Apr 23, 2009 Decent flat hop aroma. Great in glass with good head retention. Hops are woody and lacking in chracter. Ok, wouldn’t buy again. Frovigalning (398), , Sweden Apr 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber colour with a small foam. Smells and tastes of flowery hops. Has a medium to high bitterness and was very easy to drink. kennydiaz (182), staten island, New York, USA Apr 11, 2009 I had the 2008 version in a bottle. Poured with a thick creamy foam head. Nice dark golden color. Taste is very hoppy with hints of spices, slight citrus taste. It has a very IPA taste to it. imdownthepub (5089), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Apr 8, 2009 Bottled, 350ml from Beers of Europe, Norfolk. Amber with white head. Fruity, malty body with doses of caramel giving a little bulk and a sharp bittering hop note that cuts through the slightly heavy carbonation. Quite citrusy, lemony with a spicy tinge there is a moderate palate to it. A good bottled beer.
