Served from a 24oz bottle of the 2009 1st release I picked up a OTM. The appearance is a rich clear copper with a full pale brown head. The aromas are rich with fresh hop aromas, earthy tones. The flavors follow that full fresh hop nose. Somewhere in between floral and earthy in hop characters. The mouth has a bit of a creamy edge to it to go with a mild bitterness.

Dec 21, 2009 2009 Version. Hop aroma is perfume and pine oil. Hint of lemon-lime citrus. Toasted cereal malts on the pale side. Tad of sweetened toffee/caramel.
Pours a glassy red-orange. Decent head, thick lacing. Lots of carbonation.
Flavor is lemon grass and pine sap. Bitter resiny oak at the end. Roasted caramel malts, sweetish molasses. Well-balanced. Real bitter bite at the swallow and aftertaste.
Feel is medium body, a little oily. Smooth and slick. A little prickly carbonation. A really nice, balanced IPA.

Dec 20, 2009 Thanks Chibbyman. Dark amber pour with an off-white head. Nice malt and hop aroma. The taste was great. The malt was smooth and balanced well with the citrusy hops. It is well worth the bottle price.

Dec 20, 2009 $9.13... pours a medium copper w/ a decent 2 finger head .. . an easy drinker, maybe to much so ... pine and light woodiness, some slight resin .. . calm ... what’s jack in the box hiding under that big head? grease burns? .. . a mellow brew but ridiculously overpriced for what you get, a standard ipa... i love freedom..

Dec 16, 2009 24oz bottle. murky copper pour with a finger sturdy looking light tan head. aroma is citrus, grass and resiny hops. taste is strong herbal hop bitterness with hints of juicy citrus. finishes a medium bitter and a slightly metallic. light tingly carbonation in the light to medium creamy palate. a good bitter ipa - but nothing crazy spectacular.

Dec 14, 2009 On tap at the Pony Bar, NYC. Pours an orange-brown with a medium beige head. Nose of hefty hops and some mild malt sweetness. Flavor is nicely balanced blend of hops and malts, perhaps a bit heavier on the hops. Piney, citrusy hop notes with some sweet, malty toffee flavors. Mildly bitter from the hops and still crispl. Clean, tasty finish. Solid IPA.

Dec 12, 2009 Similar to the "regular" Harvest, but with a bit more toffee like notes in the malt and a much spicier/pepperier hop profile. A good effort, but still not as good as the "regular" Harvest, which might be my favorite IPA. For the same money as one bottle of this, I can have two of "regulars". Well, I get a "tick" out of it. ;)

Dec 12, 2009 Again, nice IPA, I wasnt sure of this one when i saw it, thought it was one of the other Harvest beers, but this one had a distinct character that was very indicitive of S.N. nice citrus and pine notes, and maybe a little apple, bitter finish but just enough malts to make it balanced, really nice, i personally think its better that the other Harvests.
