Poured this 24 oz. brown bottle into a Sierra Nevada Hops glass. The body was a beautiful, clear, rich copper color. The irregular, lumpy head was tan and left sheets of lace down the glass.
Smell was earthy. Tobacco. Citrus. Organic leafiness. Wheat bread as it warmed further.
Taste was well balanced but with a long grassy finish. So this is what Chico, CA tastes like. Chico terrior. Soft grapefruit and mildly sweet grains. Solid but not extreme in any way.
Mouthfeel was medium in body with a moderate amount of fine carbonation. This is not one I plan to seek out again due to the price. I'd rather drink a SN Celebration! However, I am impressed with this project and with SN's innovation as brewers and as a business.

A great looking beer, has that SNPA appearance of amber and copper, good 3/4" white head. Aroma is the usual C hops, not sure if any were used as finishing/aroma/dry hops, but it still gives off a familiar vibe.
Tastes good, just like SNPA but with more hops, less caramel ratio. The price is twice as expensive as other harvests though, hard to justify purchasing this when the others are just as good and half the price. Only if you like to pay for local stuff I guess can you justify it.
More gimmicky than most SN beers, even though it is pretty much the same as almost all their hoppy offerings.
