Commercial Description:
Our Harvest Ale was the first American beer ever brewed with 100% fresh picked, "wet hops." In just one day, we harvest hops in Yakima, WA, ship them that night to our brewery in Chico, CA, and then rush them into the brew kettle as they are unloaded at dawn the next day.

This extraordinary effort creates a beer with unmatched aromatics of pine and citrus with layers of spicey sweet notes that hop fanatic like us dream of all year. Enjoy!

deep orangey amber, forming medium off white head. Lots of little bubbles give the beer a hazy look. Aroma of resiny citrus hops, wet forrest grass. Flavour of grassy hops, caramel rock candy with a slight peppery note. Bottom line; a superb IPA beer, easy drinking and clean and crisp. Would love to try an on tap version

Bottle. Pours a deep brown amber color and a large huge white thiner head. Aroma is nice, full and large aroma of citrus mostly, hops and some pine notes. Taste is milder than expected, but a nice mild hoppy taste. Lots of malty body and sweetness throughout. Bigger, fuller body than expected, Finishes clean.

Pours a deep amber with a white head. Citrus and hops in the nose. I have a cold while I’m drinking this, but the flavors seem a little mellow in this one. Still a good beer, but I was expecting a little more out of it.

Bottle 71cl. Amber color. Aroma is a bit caramelsweet with lots of hoppy notes,grapefruit and some sweet malt. Taste is a bit on the sweet side with caramel notes but evens out with a nice fresh base of hops. Refreshing indeed!

Bottle, 71cl - Clear amber colored beer with a large lazing head. The aroma is sweet and happy with hints of litchi, grapefruit and sweet malts. The flavor is caramel malty with strong notes of citrusy SN hops. Very fresh and exciting beer!

2008 24 oz. bottle. Poured clear orange with girthy off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, lightly malt-yeasty, and earthy. Mouthfeel is super-bitter. Mega hops on the tongue, a little piney. The finish is almost not there it’s so quick. Perhaps a bit more full than you’re garden varety IPA but I love the hop-bitterness. Excellent beer.
