beer_name: Northern Hemisphere Harvest Wet Hop Ale
text: I pick up this beer while on vacation over turkey day. I have always wondered how a wet hop brew vs a dry hop taste. I know that Sierra Nevada has always gone big and never went home. I poured into a pint glass at 43 degrees. Appearance: A monster ivory two finger head that has some retention to it. As the head slowly dissipates it leaves lacing on the glass. The color of the beer is medium amber color with orange hues. There are a lot of carbonation bubbles in the beer and the clarity is clear to brilliant. Nose: Grapefruit, pine and floral ester hit your nose first. The malt in the beer has notes of bread with a subtle sweetness. Taste: A very ripe grapefruit, pine, and floral esters. The malt is very sturdy with phenol notes. Overall: The mouth feel of the beer is astringent, clean, and rich. The body of the beer is medium and the finish is full. I am a bit disappointment in this beer, thier pale ale is really a up in your face; although, this beer is a very good IPA.
