Mar 2, 2007 Sampled as part of a sampler pack. Aroma was mild hops and sweet malts. Appearance was light brown with a thin lacey head. Mouthfeel was a little harsh and flavor lacked any kick of hops you expect from a harvest ale.

May 3, 2004 1998 vintage, thx to herbjones for this taste. Orange-amber color, smallish head, sweet malty aroma. Malt dominate; honey, toffee roasted just a bit. Real good if you’re in the malty mood.

May 1, 2004 1998 vintage. Was expecting a hop monster ala Sierra Nevadas Harvest only to get a barleywine light. Deep orange color with a thin head. Sweet malty nose that carries through into the flavor along with some toffee notes.

Apr 7, 2003 Bottle of the 2000 vintage. A dark golden brown with a slight haze and a tan head. A rich complex malt, slightly toasted, caramel, and honey aroma. The flavor is all malt and honey with interesting layers. A solid beer.
