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!

On tap at Brew Kettle. Pours copper with an off white head. Aroma of pine and citrus with some sweetish malt. Flavor is slightly bitter with nice malt balance. A Sierra Nevada product I actually like...yea!

Pours a deep amber with a white head. Citrus and hops in the nose. I have a cold while I’m drinking this, but the flavors seem a little mellow in this one. Still a good beer, but I was expecting a little more out of it.

Bottle 71cl. Amber color. Aroma is a bit caramelsweet with lots of hoppy notes,grapefruit and some sweet malt. Taste is a bit on the sweet side with caramel notes but evens out with a nice fresh base of hops. Refreshing indeed!

Bottle, 71cl - Clear amber colored beer with a large lazing head. The aroma is sweet and happy with hints of litchi, grapefruit and sweet malts. The flavor is caramel malty with strong notes of citrusy SN hops. Very fresh and exciting beer!

2008 24 oz. bottle. Poured clear orange with girthy off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, lightly malt-yeasty, and earthy. Mouthfeel is super-bitter. Mega hops on the tongue, a little piney. The finish is almost not there it’s so quick. Perhaps a bit more full than you’re garden varety IPA but I love the hop-bitterness. Excellent beer.

Bottle->2lip: Pours a large, rocky, off-white head atop a clear amber body. Light malt, hops of perfume and herbs, average yeast/bacteria aroma. Full body, sticky texture and an astringent aftertaste. The flavor’s duration is long, being lightly sweet and moderately acidic/bitter. This beer is spicy and a wonderful beverage.

A great beer, but honestly I was expecting a little more. Not much aroma considering it is an IPA.
