May 8, 2004 Pours a nice amber color with a beautiful off-white head that laces the glass very well. Aroma is very mild, not quite what I expected from an American "Strong" Ale, but still pleasant. Nice malt/hop balance exists. Flavor is almost exactly like Sierra Nevada’s Harvest Ale. Nice hop bitterness meshed well with a sweet malty balance. Good body that holds its own in the mouth. A good beer.

Apr 27, 2004 This brew pours with an amber body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet yet bitter and hoppy with nice malt notes, a hint of grapefruit and pine. The flavor is slightly sweet but mostly bitter, piney and hoppy with a slight apricot note, some grapefruit and a nice malty background. Full bodied, smooth, slightly dry and warming.
