Harvest or Tartan? I'd say no, it's not worth a case for either. There should be lots of single cans of Tartan around to get a sample without buying 6 or 12. They did have cans of Harvest when it was released. Don't know if there would still be any left.

I thought the Harvest just seemed like a blend of Red and Dark. And the Tartan just seems like a tiny bit of Dark was added to the high gravity version of the regular stuff. I'm assuming they high gravity brew the [airquotes]IPA[/airquotes] and water it down to 5% of course.

If you don't mind wasting your money to buy a beer to say you had it, or if you have some sort of scruples about not bitching about a beer unless you have tried it, then yes, buy one. :lol:

tried the tartan...single cans were available. Only 12pack available now of the harvest though. The tartan wasn't too bad to be honest.

I tried the harvest as well. I wouldn't call it undrinkable, but I would say I enjoyed it either.

+1. But at least it won't cost you $12.99 to be that fool... :cheers:
