Nov 19, 2007 This just smells freash. Its got some tropical fruit in the aroma and some leafy minty hops. Pours a hazy orange brown with a thin head. Not too bitter, but rather spicy, dry, and herbal. Some toasty caramel malt with flavors of pineapples, orange, and mango. It tastes extremely fresh and has a chalky mouthfeel. As it warms, some citrusy hops become evident in the finsh, as it becomes chewy and resiny. Good stuff. Not as good as High Tide IPA, but damn good nonetheless.

Nov 18, 2007 Pours a brilliant, glowing, sunlit orange with a creamy whitish head. Smell is citrusy, with notes of orange, fresh hops with sweet caramel making an obvious presence. Taste is slightly of oranges, hops, but not the spicy fresh hop taste I’ve come to expect. Believe I get a hint of the alcohol as well. Mild bitterness, and slightly creamy body. The alcohol flavor is a bit detracting as it warms. Light grassiness to the finish. Good, but not one of my favorite fresh hops beers.

Nov 18, 2007 This was a really nice "wet hop" beer. I could drink this over and over, but it was hard for me to find. A really nice brew!

Nov 10, 2007 Big ups to Samurai Artist for this bottle. The aroma took me back to the first time I ever smelled raw hops in my hand, not in beer, in my hand. Incredible floral, citrus, and pine aroma. Ridiculous cloudy appearance does not look appetizing but the flavor is quite pleasant. Some citrus and earthy grass type flavors. Really enjoyed this one for the originality in the fresh hop experience and overall hop flavor profiles.

Nov 9, 2007 Cloudy orange-amber color with a smallish head. Aroma is big with citrusy-viney-earthy hops. Flavor is of liquified grassy-citra-viney-forest hops. Nice tingly mouthfeel and a pleasant finish. A real star among fresh-hop beers.

Nov 9, 2007 That time of year, uh? Well, and so much the better. Really drank down this bomber before I got around to rating, the very last embers of goodness sizzling on down the throat as I type. I don’t know how these style designations really hold up. Last night it was SN Hop Harvest designated as a regular IPA. This one definitely isn’t an I2PA but it compares well in quality. With these fresh/wet-hopped, it’s all good; they really don’t care what you call them.
