Oct 12, 2008 24 oz bottle. 2008. incredibly fresh and very drinkable IPA. pours a deep golden / light amber with a 1/2" white head. nice soft hop aromas... along with a bit of caramel and malt. very soft over the palate. not a hop bomb in any way... just really fresh and delicious. Middle of the road bitter finish... glad I had one...

Oct 12, 2008 2008 Bottle. Pours a tranlucent copper/amber with golden notes and a medium foamy off white head that left sticky lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma was wonderfully floral, some pine, grassy notes, light citrus, caramel and lightly toasted grains. Flavor of pine, mixed citrus, toffee, some nuts, toasted grains, caramel and a little grassy.

Oct 12, 2008 Aroma is sweet malt and pine hops. Beautiful head and golden red apperarance. Flavor... hmm, not as balanced as I would like, and the hops are a bit ’harsh’ or maybe resinous is a better word. Almost like sucking a pine cone. This could be better with a nice balance, I think. Goes down alright, though I do not really want to have multiple pints of it.

Oct 11, 2008 24oz. Bottle, 12th iteration. Rich amber pour with active carbonation and a quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma is a nice combo of citrus and hop with underlying caramel maltiness. Flavor is malty/lightly sweet at first, but finishes with a nice hop bitterness. Lighter than other fresh hopped brews that I’ve had. Full mouthfeel, and the carbonation isn’t as active as it looks, very smooth.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours a dark copper with a big, off white head. Citrusy, sticky aroma. Flavor is very bitter with some grasiness. I can taste some vegetable and ivy notes: the greenness of the hops is very apparent. The malt profile is interesting and full, lots of bready, sweet notes. The balance is pretty good. Pretty good for an IPA. Not great, but good.

Oct 10, 2008 Sierra Nevada Harvest Wet Hop Ale 10/10/08 (From bottle during a beer tasting. I was excited about this one. Poured a dark copper, with a small head. Aroma was lighter than I expected, though a nice citrusy hop aroma did come through. Personally, I think the product of the “wet” hopping is underwhelming. Yes, the flavors were well blended, with pine, flowers, and malt. A good concoction, but no, this beer was NOT head and shoulders better than their pale ale. In fact, for different reasons I think the two are about the same. And for nearly $5 a bottle, I’m not sure I’d get this again.

Oct 10, 2008 Sweet body with strong bittering hops to back it up. Very resinous heavy hopping, fresh tasting. Great color, thick head, smooth sticky mouthfeel. Pretty well balanced, very good overall.
