Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale

Sierra Nevada
Southern Hemisphere Harvest
Fresh Hop Ale

6.7%

Brewed and bottled in Chico, CA

Look: Amber/Carmel colored

Malts: Pale and Caramel
Yeast: Top-fermenting ale yeast
Bittering hops: Pacific Halertau


Taste: Slightly bitter with a strong hoppy after-taste (not as bitter as an IPA, but is certainly reminiscent of one in terms of after-taste.)
-Hints of citrus and perhaps pine

Other notes: This ale features fresh hops from New Zealand (hence the name Southern Hemisphere Harvest). The hops are picked as whole cones, dried, and shipped to the brewery in CA within days of their harvest.
