Beer of the week 12-14

So, a big, enthusiastic congrats to my man Bobby "the Bobsicle" Mull, for giving me a few tasty beers, while his next batch of homebrew gets ready for consumption. This week, I have been enjoying a seasonal ale by Sierra Nevada. Its called "Harvest: 12th Release Wet Hop Ale."

 Apparently with this brew, they overnight shipped the hops, so they stay "wet", as in they aren't dried or baked or anything. This effects the flavour in a fairly wonderful way.
Its resoundingly well balanced, with a cardamon and corriandor apple pie body, with an extremely fine pear-cirtus sugar cane glaze on top. Because of the wet hops, I would definately classify this closer to a traditional IPA than an Ale, but who am I to complain? I fuckin love hops, and this beer has it in spades. Super smooth goin down. My ninja. In a few days, hopefully I can have something fun to report.
Ta ta.
