From the new BevMo in Fairfield, CA. Hands down, this is the best beer I’ve had from Sierra. I’m guessing because it was fresh-hopped they age their hops before making their pales. Not a fan of the latter...

Oct 6, 2008 Nice looking amber beer with a thick long-lasting head on pour. Very hop-py scent and taste which make up for its average palate. All in all a must taste tester.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle, 2008. Aroma of toasted malt and a hint of grassy and bitter hops. Flavor builds nicely on the toasted malt, but the hops become little more than astringent background music. Rather thin mouthfeel. Wasn’t bad I guess, but certainly wasn’t all that great either, and even more certainly a far cry from what I would expect from a SN offering with the word "hop" prominently placed on the label.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle, 12th Release Harvest Wet Hop. Pours a clear amber with a thick light tan head. Aroma of grassy hops, dirty socks, and caramel malt. Flavor is rather sweet and malty, with some stale wheat, also a little weak. This kind of tastes like a weak pale ale. Hmm, I don’t know if it was just me, but this beer certainly wasn’t very hoppy at all and overall it was just ok.

Oct 5, 2008 On tap at KSBF ’08. Amber-orange body with a small head. Nose and flavor sing with resinous pine and grapefruit. Slightly floral. Probably my favorite beer that I had all day.
