| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Clear copper with a frothy sticky white head. Fresh hop aroma, a bit spicy, grassy, and citrusy. Caramel really comes through in the flavor. It works decently with the spicy hops. Body is a tad thin.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Dec 28, 2009 This is produced in September. When I rated this in December there was little to no hop flavor and aroma left. Dominant flavor is black tea. Some hop bitterness, some grassy flavor. Drain pour. Don’t waste your time unless you get it fresh off the line. GrungyBob (51), Kettering, Ohio, USA

When i think of harvest ale i think of big flavors and crisp hops. I’m not getting this in this beer. Soft palate herbal flavors, very small thin bodied. shawnm213 (998), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 20, 2009 12oz Bottle: Nice amber hue w/ a soapy biege head. Found hops right away in the aroma, after that alot of sweet malts. Malts play up front-mid palate w/ hops taking over thereafter leaving their bitter/grapefruity statemant in the finish. Not a bad beer by any means, but there is something off balance. Needs to be a little smoother or a little less harsh...I haven’t decided if the glass is half full or half empty here.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 18, 2009 12oz bottle: Pours to a clear medium amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet apples, light malt, small amount of cinnamon-like spice (but this is very mild), some light berry-type scent, but is definitely distinctly lacking hops in the nose. Taste is sweet light malt, quickly followed by some nice ripe grapefruit/citrus hops bitterness on the tongue, a bit of cereal flavor. As it warms the hops flavors come out much more, suggesting a bit of noble hops (if these are indeed grown locally). Finish is bitter spicy/earthy hops. Medium bodied, medium carbonated, and slightly too sweet for an IPA. yespr (12420), Copenhagen O, Denmark
