| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Aroma is of citrusy dry hops. Nice peppery bite, dry hops and citrusy floral mouthfeel. Nice smooth creamy citrusy dry finish. Very nice beer. beer4mencc1701 (21), Irving, Texas, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 6, 2009 On tap at the Ginger Man, beer came to the table bright & champagne-bubbly-frothy. Resin-pine-forward, citrus notes in the back on the nose, very fresh. A well-built beer- tasting malt in the middle (with hops to start & end)- enough malt so that the wet hops don’t run away with the show. Nicely bitter, makes your mouth water for the next sip, pleasantly carbonated, clings to your mouth in the best way. Actually was dangerously drinkable (higher ABV)- but no more than 2 in a sitting due to taste-bud overload from the hops. JoeTheYounger (293), California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Golden orange color with thin head. Fresh sweet hop aroma that is very nice. Taste of fresh ass hops and citrus. A little bit of spice present. Very smooth easy drinkable beer. dkoonce (899), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2009 Bottle. This is a hearty beer. The color is harvest brown, with a creamy, tan head that fades quickly. Excellent floral hop aroma, with a hint of malt. Heavy, with a stronger malt presence than expected.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Bottle. Such a sucker for these fresh hop beers. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Citrus, and grass fresh cut at that, woody pine and a spritzy spiced hop resin. Very nice brew. GranvilleTim (522), Granville, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 20, 2009 12th release, 24 oz. (2008). Dark amber pour with an off-white head. Malt aroma with piney hops in the background. Nice malt taste wih the hops equalizing a nice balance. Little spicyness at the end of the drink. Very tasty beer. I wish I tried the first 11 releases. Nice lacing on the whole glass. crzybob77 (528), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 18, 2009 Poured with a nice head. Very fresh, yet subtle hop smell. The flavor is very hoppy, but also very drinkable and smooth. I really liked this beer as I typically do with Sierra Nevada. broozer81 (67), , New Jersey, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 18, 2009 just got the 16 oz sierra tulip glasses so i stopped at the lq on the way home from work and found the last 2008 Harvest in the store..pine aroma and taste with malts that were definitely present more than usual in ipa’s that i’ve tasted but could be the hop’s wearing off a little bit since it was brewed in late aug.08....overall still an excellent ipa, looking forward to this years...
