Dec 5, 2008 24 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a large frothy light tan head that lasts awhile. The aroma is very hoppy with citrus and pine. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a very smooth sweet hop with a nice bitter finish. Not as bitter as most IPAs but a very easy to drink and a very well done IPA from SIerra Nevada.

Dec 4, 2008 Sierra Nevada 12th Release Harvest Wet Hop Ale. Sample from November 21, 2008 beer club meeting. Aroma is fruity sweet. Cloudy honey color. Spicy. Full and hoppy flavor. Solid. Well hopped! A little syrupy.

Dec 2, 2008 Good beer, low on aroma, high on flavor. Not much dry hopping done to this one, but plenty of wet hopping.
nice copper color,with a good head. Big pine and malt flavor. I guess I expected more...but then again, its Sierra Nevada.
And with that being said, they did do a nice job with it.

Dec 2, 2008 Pours a nice dark copper color. Good fresh hop aroma not overwhelming. Huge tan head nice lacing , good caramel malt flavor good balance , not as hoppy as the southern hemi but a well balanced fresh hop flavored ale. The thing that I love about this type of beer is the depth of different hop aromas and flavors.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep transparent orange color. Medium head, leaves a good amount of lacing in the glass. What can you say about the flavor other than this is a hop lovers wet dream. Big pine and citrus hops, a little bit chewy and resiny. Fresh. Nice malt backbone to keep the hops from overwhelming. A hint of spice, but not so much as to overwhelm. Medium bodied. Finish is lingering, a bit sweet. Damn. This is a solid beer.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle-2008 edition. Hmmm.... overall a super, solid IPA and just the way I like them, solid hop taste that’s not overwhelming. Amber, almost copper color with a frothy heads that settles nicely and sticks around for the whole drink. The head also leaves a nice layer of lacing. Lots of flowery and pine aroma, the taste was of the right amount of bitterness. Props for the extra 2 ozs in the bomber bottle. produce place.

Nov 30, 2008 12th release. Pours copper with frothy off-white head. Aroma is bitter and flowery, very herbal, with a pale malt backbone. Flavor is light with hints of chocolate, caramel, and vanilla malt and a flowery, herbal finish. Not much bitterness. Palate is extremely smooth and full, with minimal stickiness. Pretty good.

Nov 30, 2008 draft - Pours amber-orange with a one finger head. It has a nice citrus hop aroma with a malty background. It tastes of some caramel malt initially that’s quickly followed by a robust citrus and pine accented hops presence. Fresh hops lingers on the palate of this medium bodied brew. Very good.
