Our Harvest IPA is brewed with American hops, cracked barley and hard work as a tribute to what makes our beer so special – the harvest. The deep ruby color evokes a bright autumn mountainside where a warm sweater, a good beer and the gratitude for the seasons are all you need. Cheers to the harvest, whatever it may bring you!

Kinda reminded me of an off-shoot-looking Boston Lager...
...but that's where any similarities end. On it's own, it's a decent IPA - hoppy, crisp, light- to medium-mouthfeel, and of course, a look reminiscent to a BL. The taste is what left me wanting - to much hop-forwardness for my taste making it more of about the hop flavoring and less about the overall experience. Still, decent enough and worth a try, even more than once...

I took a chance but didn't get a big winner. This sample turns out to be not maybe two months old but it tastes like more.
This pours deep golden reddish with just a bit of haze and decent head. The aroma is of a skunked ale - in a can no less. The taste follows suit, but also has lot of body. It might not go that well with food. My sample is no more than two months in the store but that is enough for this one.
Not recommended. I didn't get a good sample.

From the small can, it pours a clear golden amber color with a vibrant just off-white head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets some piney citrus scent, followed by the mouth getting a slightly sweet, slightly caramelly, roasty malty flavored brew. Easy!

An enjoyable fall IPA featuring a caramalt profile with bits of toffee and almond leading to a balanced piney/citrus hop ending. Bitterness is mild to moderate with a delicate dryness. Overall this is pretty nice if you like IPA with a sweet edge. A nice alternative to other fall beer releases when you want a bit of extra hops

What a nice and refreshing offering for late summer- a traditional American IPA with the flavors that remind us that our early craft beers were deeply rooted in British flavor and tradition.
Deep amber and brilliantly clear, Southern Tier's Harvest IPA gets busy constructing a dense ivory froth and a hoppy scent of citrus, spruce and herb. Sweeter once on the tongue, the juicy malts allow for caramel, light toffee, toast and nuttiness for a rounded sweet grain flavor. Balanced by hop bitterness, the later taste pulls from floral aromas and gives the session a piney, peppery and resinous bite with fresh greens and herbs for dryness and bite.
Medium bodied, fuller than modern IPA and finishing more bitter than sweet, the beer is off-dry and juicy, reminding us of Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale.

The beer is a clear cherry amber color with a small off-white head and a tiny bit of lace.
Subtle aroma of citrus and pine, some sweet malt.
Mostly pine taste, a little citrus.
Nice bitterness.
