Presentation: 24 oz bottle that looks similar to the regular line. Date code is cryptic, 1st release. ABV is clearly labeled.
Appearance: Clear orange-red color, nice large head with good retention and lacing.
Smell: Very grassy hop aroma. Wet hops and a bit of bready malt.
Taste: Lots of bitterness, grassy hop flavor. Lacking a bit of malt to back up the bitterness.
Overall impression: Not as good as most of the other Sierra Nevada offerings - a bit unbalanced. The bitterness could use more malt.

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.
