sierra nevada southern hemisphere hop harvest 2009

picked up 4 bottles wed night at bierkraft in brooklyn - they had just arrived that day. so psyched to try one tonight!!!

thanks for the heads up I'll start keeping an eye out for it.

OH YEAH! I totally forgot this was releasing soon! I can't wait to try the NZ Fresh Hops! I will have to harass my local CoOp to bring this in ASAP! Hear that Ander????

The guy at the CoOp is a nice guy... brought in a few requests for me from the UK.

Ask and I am sure he can get it!

Nifty -- I like the 24oz bottles they use.
and the beer

it is delicious! had it last weekend.

Just picked one up this morning.
Cant wait to try tonight while watching UFC.

Just picked up a case myself. I'll post tasting notes later.

Ask and ye shall receive! We just got this in a tthe CoOp and I tried it this past weekend. It is very good! I wished I had another bottle or 14 of it! The hop presence is strong, but not way over the top. Citrusy, crisp, floral and the combination with the malts make it a very quaffable libation!

Got mine at the CoOp, too... I think it's as good or better than the others. Nicely balanced!

Had this one at the local pub a couple weeks ago. Thought it was very good, not my absolute favorite, but very good.

I had the 2010 a couple days ago and was underwhelmed.

I loved it even though its a hop bomb, but their regular harvest ale is better....and more balanced.

I am going to have to say if that was a hop bomb, then I have reached the pinnacle of lupulin tolerance. Moderate bitterness, no flavor, no aroma.
And I love SN.

i thought this was a very tasty beer. i enjoyed the moderate bitterness in it and thought it had great hop aroma. i mean, nothing like a west coast hop bomb, but i don't think they were looking to overwhelm your senses on this one. i still got a lot of citrus notes from those NZ hops, not terribly different from what you can get from pacific NW varieties. i was actually really surprised to find it here, we don't normally get limited releases like that. enjoyed it thoroughly.
