It's a nice beer, but with so many startlingly good fresh-hop beers in Oregon, it's almost beside the point.Bill Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202318621724165312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828714141383213600.post-50340622103621203782009-10-08T13:09:36.437-07:002009-10-08T13:09:36.437-07:00Tastes differ, but Sierra's fresh-hopped beers...Tastes differ, but Sierra's fresh-hopped beers don't do much for me. Last year's Chico Estate <a href="http://www.its-pub-night.com/2008/10/sierra-nevada-chico-estate-harvest-ale.html" rel="nofollow">almost worked</a>.

Interesting post. Thanks! <br /><br />Coincidentally, I just (semi-accidentally) picked up a bomber bottle of Harpoon's 100-barrel "Wet Hop," which would appear to follow this style. Will be writing about it soon in my blog.BeltwayBeerhttp://www.beltwaybeer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828714141383213600.post-26828810067102961652009-09-25T17:06:26.585-07:002009-09-25T17:06:26.585-07:00I have never heard of fresh hops beer before.
