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!

this one came from the PP Carlsbad shop--2008 bottle, ’’’’12th Release’’’’: copper body, orange highlight, sparkling lacing, medium off-white head; bittersweet and lightly salty; very nice mouthful, smooth; very good.

From 24oz bottle. Pours darker ornge color than expected with long lasting head. Aroma is of fragrant hops. Strong pine hops and nice mouth feel. Great value @ $4/24oz.

Pours a delightfully clear, pale amber. Medium body and nice balance of hoppy spice and malty sweetness. Adding fresh hops to this beer is certainly worth the effort. Will look forward to drinking this again next autumn!

Amazing beer. Very unique thirst quenching hoppiness and a balanced medium body make this exceptional. An array of natural undertones hide just below the delicious wet hop flavor. Really good.

24 ounce bottle. Pours a nice, dark copper color with a good sized, foamy, beige head that is clingy and slowly fades. Has a nice carbonation to it. Has a very pleasant taste of hops, pine, caramel, malt and spice, with a nice dry finish. Has a nice bitterness and mouthfeel to it. The aroma is much the same, but is equally nice. Well balanced, easy to drink and a very satisfying. Well worth purchasing again.

I don’t usually comment too much about the appearance of a beer. But this poured a beautiful and deep red hue, with a mighty and thick froth for a head. Impressive cosmetics. Spicy and hoppy notes predominate, but not bitter. Rich and malty, but not sweet. Another good big bottle brew from SN. Their Southern Hemisphere Harvest Ale is simply superb.

2008, bomber. Nice off-white head with very good lacing. Beautiful amber color, hops are balanced and not overpowering. Definitely need another.
