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!

Hoppy, some malty hints. Color is golden/amber. Tasted some orange peel/grapefruit and spices. It had the distinctive Sierra Nevada taste.

Appearance is what one would expect from an IPA with the light amber body and a thin tan head. Multi sized bubbles. This beer is well hopped and tart with a nice dose of fruit and floral notes. Pine and grapefruit. Good balance.

From 24oz bottle to tulip glass. Poured with a frothy light almost tan head and leaves a lovely lace on the glass. Color is dark orange somewhat copper colored and a bit cloudy. Aroma is of fresh hops. Taste is balanced with plenty of hop character. The hops taste very fresh and green. This is an exceptional fresh hop ale, with just the right amount of hop flavor.

(from notes) Very good stuff. Solid, balanced, drinkable brew with more flavorful hop character. Heavy resinous and floral notes. More balanced than many fresh hop/"hop heavy" beers. Can’t beat the price on SN bombers, too!

24 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a straightforward brown with huge head and major lacing. Bitter piney hops aroma. Very sweet hoppy taste with a VERY strong grapefruit vibe.

Draft. Pours a dull orange with minimal head. Sweet floral hop nose. Unbalanced hop flavor. Bitter finish was not all that pleasant. 6 3 5 3 9 Re-rate: Bottle. Pours the same color. Pleasant pine hop aroma and flavor. Some caramel malt.

Large beige head. Golden honey color. Hoppy aroma, crisp. Medium to light bodied refreshing, balanced, and good bitterness. Could have been too old.
