Today, I have Surly Wet in my glass. Unfortunately, it's not as sexy as it sounds. I'm coming to a realization (either unfortunate or reassuring, i'm not sure which) that I'm not really into wet-hopped beers. One of the first that I ever had, Sierra Nevada's Harvest (don't recall if it was Northern Hemisphere or Southern) was excellent. I love the idea of drinking beer made with freshly harvested hops that are packed with juicy flavor, but so often I find myself disappointed. Maybe I don't like this one because it uses Simcoe hops. I'm detecting an unpleasant onion flavor with this beer that I don't care for. I'm disappointed, especially considering I spent $5 for a pint-sized can. If you really want to try it I recommend looking for a single, but I wouldn't recommend trying it. Maybe if you're into Simcoe hops, I dunno. It does have a nice, full mouth-feel, I'll grant it that, but the flavor itself doesn't do much for me, nor does the aroma. File under "Overpriced, overrated."
