Year of New Beer: Northern Hemisphere Harvest Wet Hop IPA, Sierra Nevada Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 11/11/2014

Nose boasts aromas of citrus and pine with a touch of floral underneath. Nice elements of caramel and bready malts as well. All of these aspects translate extremely well to the tongue, with a really nice balance of sweet malty backbone and grassy hop bitterness. Perhaps it's because their beers are so readily available that they don't always receive the hype afforded other brews, but for my money, few breweries can match Sierra Nevada for quality and value.
