Oct 24, 2008 Forgot to upload my notes last year. Maybe that is because this beer is anything but memorable. Reddish copper color with a medium sized off white rocky head. Looks really great. Nose is apples wood sunflower seeds, salt. Taste is the same with some toasted malt and a decent crisp acidic finish. Bit woody tasting. Its good but not outstanding.

Oct 24, 2008 Pours a clear deep copper color with a smallish head and lots of lacing. Aroma is medium sweet with strong grapefruit and caramel to a lesser extent. The flavor is nicely bitter and more pine shines through than does in the aroma. Full-bodied, crisp texture. Long dry and bitter finish.

Oct 23, 2008 Pour is a clear copper color with an off-white head that yields light notes of citrus, pine and hops with a touch of sweet malt. Flavor is so fresh, bursting with crisp, bitter hops and grapefruit. Very bitter, clean finish.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle: Pours a booming 3 plus finger head, it just lays there, a beautiful copper amber clear body... as I drink the beer the head just sticks like nobody’s business, I think 1/2 the bottle is stuck to my glass afterwards... LOL... strong caramel sweetened hops with some dirt thrown in, if this is what wet hops smell like, then now I know... like dirty, freshly picked, grassy citrus... anyways, the aromas are unique and fragrant, the flavor is caramalized malts - hops... after some of the froth settles, distinct toffee, some chocolate emerge... it’s muddled but perceptive... I like the special harvest series from SN... though I give a slight edge to the Southern Harvest where the hop aromas are just awesome and crisp! Recommended.

Oct 22, 2008 [Draft] Pours a darker clear orange/amber with a medium sized beige frothy head. Fruity caramel aroma, piney. Earthy flavor, dry caramel, light pine and resin, tobacco. Medium bodied, easy drinking with sparkling carbonation. Would like to try one out of the bottle.

Oct 22, 2008 Bottled: thanks tiki taylor! Pours a golden color with white lacing. Smells of light hops and tastes bitter, but very clean and full of hops, that lasts great on the palate. Good beer!
