Sierra Nevada Ale, Fresh Hop, Southern Hemisphere Harvest, 2011

Purest ingredients. Finest quality. Each fall, hops reach their peak flavor, bursting with aromatic oils that give ales layers of complex flavor that can only happen at harvest time. For us, fall comes twice a year - once in each hemisphere. This Harvest ale features fresh hops from New Zealand - where fall occurs during our spring. These fresh whole cones are picked, dried, and shipped to the brewery within days of the harvest. Alc. 6.7% by Vol. Brewed & bottled by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico, CA
