Jan 4, 2009 24 oz. bottle from 2008. 12th Release. A hazy, deep-copper pour with a big light-tan head. Lots of spicy citrus coupled with some sweet caramel in the aroma. Full body. Excellent balance. Sweet toffee and caramel flavors at the start with grapefruits and peppery spiciness finishing things off. Lingering dryness at the end.

Jan 2, 2009 Sierra Nevada 12th Release Harvest Wet Hop Ale is clear, sparkling and copper. The head is huge and fluffy; rocky and bubbly. It has excellent retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass. Incredibly fresh hop aroma. Smells like hops still on the vine. Spicy, sweet, juicy, piny-- yum! It is medium bodied, a little oily and quite smooth. The finish is pretty crisp. It is a well balanced flavor. The hops are full and juicy and backed up nicely by a big malt body. It is a little peppery. It’s mostly a big grapefruit peel and pine flavor. It tastes very fresh. Well crafted! I’m glad I can get two glasses out of this bottle!

Jan 2, 2009 On tap at the White Horse, for "Still here Mr. Selle?" session, at their Old Ale Festival, 28th Nov 08. Coppery red amber. Aroma is suprisingly malty, the hops don’t overwhelm everything. Just the right mouthfeel - some weight, but not too heavy. Strong, flavoursome beer.

Jan 1, 2009 2008 edition. Pours a medium amber, slightly cloudy, with a thick off-white head that sticks around, and outstanding lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine hops balanced with sweet caramel malt and spices. Taste is very nicely hopped, with an excellent balance of sweet malt. This is an outstanding beer.

Dec 28, 2008 Pours a beautiful caramel color. Aroma is grassy an dpiney hops. Slightly sweet caramel malt flavor with a bitter grapefruity finish. Looks good, smells good but the flavor is a bit quick and a little thin. Very drinkable though and if I am not careful, in large quantities.
