Poured from what I think is a bit bigger than a 750ml bottle into a SA perfect pint.
Pours a deep, burnt orange, with a creamy khaki colored head. Head is huge, foamy, slow to receded, and leaves lots of lacing in its wake. Love the way this one looks. Scent is great too. Obviously hoppy and I have a hard time finding words to describe it other than "fresh", which is painfully obvious. Taste is, obviously, predominately hops. Lots of grapefruit as the label promises but with a nice grainy backbone for balance. Bitterness is a little higher than I expected but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Overall it looks and smells phenomenal and tastes pretty good too. Would definitely be drinking more if I had it; however, at this price point I think I'll wait till next years release to try again.

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.
