May 15, 2009 2nd release, poured from the bottle into a fancy IPA glass.
aroma: wildflowers, sour apple, grass, herbs.
appearance: clear gold, frothy head.
flavor: sharp-bitter fading to smooth-sweet, with more bitter emerging in the aftertaste. lime, arugula, honey, and a vague hint of corn (in a good way).
I like to imagine those brave, adventurous brewers who flew down to N.Z. (dressed in hops-green camouflage) and seized the precious harvest, fighting off angry natives and wild animals to bring these fresh nuggets back to Cali -- just in time to throw them into the kettle! Wow, if they ever made an action movie about a beer, this would be a great subject.

May 13, 2009 [2009 - 2nd release] Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest is a clear amber ale with a huge, yellowed, off-white head that’s bubbly and foamy. It exhibits outstanding retentiong and leaves outstanding lacing. It has a fresh, spicy hop aroma of pine and orange peel and perhaps some mint. It has a smooth medium body with a clean finish. It is well bittered and well balanced. The full hop flavor echoes the notes of the aroma. The malt is biscuity. Man, this is so good-- I love Sierra Nevada!

May 3, 2009 From a 24 oz bottle at the World Beer Festival in Raleigh NC this gem from Sierra Nevada poured a hazy orange color with a foamy head. Aroma of hops, citrus and flowers. A nice hoppy grapefruit flavor provides this IPA with another great brew in the Sierra Nevada line-up. Carbonation is just right and the finish dry and bitter. I could certainly drink more of this one.

Apr 3, 2009 Bottle, courtesy of Blankboy. Cloudy hazy rusty orange, creamy white head. Interesting herbal earthy hop aroma - neat. Taste - hoppy, herbal tea like, almost minty, piney. Medium body, a bit watery. A neat take on an IPA, I liked it.

Feb 26, 2009 Orange color and looks about the same as Celebration or the regular Harvest Ale. Nice green hoppy smell. The taste seems to follow with a nice fresh hoppy flavor that is kinda grassy. This is very similar to the other Harvest Ale which I happen to prefer.
