Feb 13, 2010 12oz bottle poured into pint glass. Really pleased with this one. Aroma is very subtle, a little citrus and spruce but not much to speak of on aroma. Pours a deep, cloudy copper with a solid 1 finger frothy off white head although that dissipates quickly. Love how it hits the palate, you don’t have to wait very long for this ale to settle in, it lets you know "hey, I’m here to party" as soon as it hits your lips. Crisp, hoppy with a delicious, mild sweet aftertaste. Didn’t know what to expect from Celebration but I wound up being really happy with it.

Feb 9, 2010 Hazy amber with a big fluffy rocky off-white head. Looks good (as expeted from SN). Good hoppy aroma with a solid caramelly malt base to support it. Well balanced, enjoyable IPA with some sweetness and floral and resiny hops. Good carbonation and body. Once again, a solid offering from Sierra Nevada.

Feb 9, 2010 Bottle from Winnoski Bevereage Warehouse
Appearance : Clear dark amber with huge fluffy head. Estensive lacing on the glass. Gorgeous look.
Aroma : Juicy hops, very resinous, piny with notes of grapefruits. Gets a bit grassy and herbal near the end.
Taste : Nicely hoppy and bitter. Juicy hops, pine and grapefruits.
Finish : Quite bitter, lots of piny hops. Grapefruit, very fruity. A bit warming with some alcohol but not too much. A tad sweet but rather dry.
Overall : I Had the full bottle all by myself thru the course of the evening and I really had a great time. I had it on tap in Boston two weeks before and it was not that good (which is rather surprising). This one really hit the spot. Will have again for sure.

Feb 9, 2010 Pours amber/golden, nice lively white head with good retention.
Aroma is hop dominant, orange and spice. This orangey hop translates to the flavour with a stern bitterness. Body seems a little thin for this much hop, but very tasty.

Feb 8, 2010 Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. I had a hard time drinking this one. If you want your beer tasting like hops this is the beer for you. Warning there was no attempt to balance the hops in this beer with malt.

Feb 7, 2010 Deep copper/reddish colour, big off-white head, lacing.
Aroma of tropical fruits, mango, passionfruit, grapefruit and a caramel malt backbone.
Flavour is just lovely same tropical fruits as in the nose accompanied by a big bite!
Medium carbonation.
This is just a great IPA!

Feb 6, 2010 Bottle 2008 vintage. Thanks ritzkiss. Beautiful color here, nice hazy red pour. Quite the hop bomb, taste is nicely balanced IPA complex mix of hops. Well done, but not impressive.
