Oct 14, 2009 13th release 2009 - Cold 24oz bottle: Pours a clear sunset orange with a persistent, rocky, light tan head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is of pine, citrus and spice. Taste is of bitter soapy suds with some dark fruit notes. Medium bodied and crisp, with ample carbonation. Ending is dry with prolonged earthy bitterness.

Oct 11, 2009 24 oz bottle from Princeton’s, 13th release. Dark golden pour, thick puffy head, very nice lacing. Hoppy aroma with some piney elements to it. Flavor is not too bitter but still has great hops to it, the pine also comes through here as does the spice. Subtly bitter finish. Very smooth beer for all the hops going on in it.

Oct 10, 2009 24 oz bottle. 13th release. Aroma of citrus, apricot, pine. Nice amber hue, good head retention and lacing. Nice even balance between malt and hops. Pleasant bitterness. Not as much character as I was expecting, however. Tastes pretty mild for the style. Good IPA, but not as good as their Torpedo or Anniversary Ales (both of which are in the IPA style as well). I was expecting something better than those given the size of the bottle and the touting of the label, but it’s much milder than those beers. Definitely good, just not excellent.

Oct 10, 2009 24oz. bottle. Outstanding spicy floral aroma. Puffy beige head stayed atop the beer forever, leaving thick lace. Reddish gold in color--a very pretty beer. Taste is sharply tart, full of spicy citrus hops. The malt presence is a deeply buried semi-sweet, almost rooty backbone. The flavor clings to the tongue, but never presents anything off-balance. This has been one of my favorite beers!

Oct 10, 2009 24 oz bottle picked up at johns market for 3.99, Nice aroma woody with fresh hops not very aromatic. Dark copper color great lace off white head. Earthy bitter and full in the mouth reminds me of a double red ale. Bitter all over the tongue but not too bitter. Nice balance. Delicious beer.

Oct 9, 2009 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.
