Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere Harvest 2012: Brewed in California at strength of 6.7%, this wet hopped Ale or IPA with 67 IBU’s and was enjoyed at home in a 22 oz Sam Adams perfect beer glass.
Aroma and Appearance: It pours a dark cloudy copper with a good 3 fingers of foam and lots of bubbles in the middle of the brew. The aroma is caramel, tropical fruits and biscuit.
Flavour: I get some nice bready malt with lots of herbs and pine upfront, in the middle I found that the mango and tangerine shine and finally the finish is dry, bitter and again herbal with a touch of grapefruit.
Overall Impression: A two year old wet hopped be shouldn’t be this good, but it is!
Rating: I give it a 8/10 as in excellent, with every sip you want more and more, it develops as you drink it and the balance is perfect. I wish I had a fresher bottle, will look for one.
Food Pairing: The brewer suggests crab cakes and I agree, throw a bit of spice on their and you have a great pairing here.
I haven’t a lot of their stuff, any suggestions on what to pick up next?

Yes! The Ovila Belgian style ales by SN are terrific. I also really liked the Yakima single hop IPA they put out earlier this year (the same series as the beer in your review, I think). Check out my blog for more info, cheers! phirx
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll keep my eyes out for those on the shelves. Great blog by the way, glad you got back into home brewing!
Yikes that is old. I wouldn’t have even purchased it at that age. Nice.
I was expecting cardboard to be honest, amazed that it delivered still.
