Aug 15, 2008 Poured a nice bright amber golden orange with a faint whiff of pine and hay. Flavour was smooth and slightly spiced. Had some interesting characteristics going on within the palate but strangely, I got quite full while drinking my first pint and couldn’t finish the rest. This is not bad, but I had a hard time distinguishing it from SN’s other beers.

Aug 15, 2008 Pours copper with an off white head. Smells resiny and spicy with some earthy undertones. Tastes of lots of resiny hints up front with a great balance of tea and earthiness. Another great one from this brewery!

Aug 13, 2008 moderately hazy copper to orange with a rocky eggshell head. slight orange, apple and grassy straw over a toasted, caramel sweetness leaps out in the nose. crisp bitterness on the back of the tongue, with a lightly toasted biscuit malt to back it up. finishes tangy grapefruit with a bit of alcohol warmth.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle (24oz). 2008 vintage. Pours a clear orange-amber with a large mostly-lasting foamy off-white head, at first, but after pouring the rest of the bottle it becomes cloudy with little floaties. Nice lacing. Aroma of resiny hops, citrus fruit and bready malt. Flavour of resiny hops well balanced by the malt along with herbs & spices and a decent dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. A little simplistic in my opinion, I preferred the ’Sierra Nevada Harvest’, it seemed to have more going for it. But this is still a very good beer, enjoyable and easy to drink.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle. Off-white, somewhat frothy head, slowly diminishes w/ fair lacing. Light amber w/ a little haziness Pleasant aroma of grapefruit and pine w/ a detectable note of cereal to bring in the malt. Sweet stickiness on the lips hints at a hefty brew, but it turns out to be medium bodied. Hop bitterness is complex w/ lots of spicy, floral notes: black pepper and honeysuckle. Finish is dry, peppery, and woody (oak) - great stuff.
