Sierra Nevada Wet Hop Harvest 2011 (Northern Hemisphere)

Back for more Sierra Nevada, this time in an attractive rumlike bottle.

Wow, the nose on this certainly makes your mouth water. Then the taste winds up and punches you right in it. There are hops in this beer. It's almost abrasively bitter, quite cloudy and sediment laden throughout, leafy floral pine herbal notes all over the place.

Apparently they release two of these each year to coincide with the harvest season in each hemisphere. Clever.

This is balls to the wall bitter, massive bold hops, with just enough malt so your face doesn't fall off, and I love it. Further testing required but for now, 9.0
