Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale
I have liked this much more in prior years. 2010 is an off-year. A - Pours a deep reddish amber with scant retention and lace. S - I am getting a very pungent grassy and vegetal hop. Malt is subdued. Not betterthan average, T - Huh, the taste is not fully melded; it seems to have a segmented palette. Lots of bitterness at the end, and not the best flavor coming from the hop. M - IPA. Good. D - I would say that almost all of SN's regular hoppy offerings are better: Pale Ale, Estate, Torpedo, and Celebration...
