The 2009 Bigfoot Ale is very good in my opinion. Can't get enough of it.

I love SN beers. My favorite is the Celebration, followed by Torpedo. Usually I will have summerfest in the fridge during the correct time of the year.

I bought a 6'er of 2010 Bigfoot the other day. Super now, and should be stellar with some age on it.

Im not sure actually. This beer uses hops that are used in the brewing process the same day they are picked

Oh, you mean Harvest ale.

I didn't find it all that different than some of their other beers, in other words, I can't tell what using wet hops did for it. Could also be that since smoking lots of cigars and drinking hoppy beer together don't tend to lend themselves well to accurate taste testing.



And it looks like I was mistaken - only certain harvest ales are wet hopped.
