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!

Bottled. Pours out in a hazy amber colour topped with a rich and long-lasting white foam. Rich and really resinous hop aroma with notes of flowers and guava fruit. Medium-bodied with strong notes of resin and flowers, hints of grass and Seville oranges. Clean mouthfeel, bordering to streamlined. Resinous hops in the finish, hints of wet grass and almonds. Certainly not bad but I expected more bittering hops from this one.

Glowing amber with a fleeting head. Nice pine forest sweet hop aroma. Good taste with a smooth malt sweetness meshed nicely with an oily hop resin flavor to finish, very nice. 11167

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Has a fresh hoppy resin aroma with lots of grapefruit. Sweetish malty fresh hoppy grassy flavor with hints of grapefruit. Dry malty hoppy finish with some grassy hints and a bitter aftertaste.

Yum! Very nice hop bite from the brewery that introduced me to hops. Westcoast style flavor and aroma with a nice caramel-toffee malt balance.

Sierra Nevada Harvest Fresh Hop 6-3-7-3-15 Sample Tasting - dark amber with white head. Citrus, hops, and straw nose. Fresh hops, sour dough, malted grain, bitter finish. Goes great with jambalaya.

Thanks Harry - Golden brown, some suspended particles floating in the body, hop-malt aroma, some toffee there too. Toffee mouthfeel, nice carbonation, sweet malt finish, what a good solid beer. Very impressed.

Bottled at The Rover. Copper colour with a large, beige head. Sweet and malty flavour with loads of citric and flowery hoppiness. Soft and smooth with a dry bitterness.

2007 - 24 oz bottle.....There wasn’t too much to dislike about this beer - it was great. Nice balanced hops, not overpowering like some of Stone’s and with a nice blend of flavors
