Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale

[350 ml bottle, 2008 edition] An aroma of citrus and flowers. The taste is ab bit bitter and dry but with a bit sweet aftertaste.

Bottles purchased in Vegas and spread out from there to Wyoming. A solid and sturdy IPA which rightfully connotes a darker IPA than I typically enjoy. This doesnt stop its cleanliness, however, which is of a pine character if they made albino pines and has a citrus quality if they made purple oranges. Very much a DIPA Light.

Out of the bottle and into a clean pint glass. Beautiful light copper color with a lingering thick off white head. Real hoppy on the nose with obvious citrus but the taste is mostly bitter with an earthy undertone. Bitterness stays on the tongue longer than I would like. Enjoyable beer nonetheless.

Pours a hazy copper with a very nice, thick, off-white head. Aromas of hop resin, caramel, toffee, grapefruit. Creamy almost buttery mouthfeel. Medium to thick-bodied. Excellent IPA! Smoother, creamier, and less intense compared to the Celebration Ale but in my opinion with less character.

2008 bottle, from swedish systembolaget. Little bit bitter, for my likening, nice hops.

2008 Bottle from Systembolaget. Served in original US-Pintglas. Thick head, long lasting The body is rather thin. The aroma finish is bitter. It is a good thirstquencher but nothing spectacular

Slightly hazy amber gold, moderate white head generating some early lace. Fresh tropical fruit and resinous hop aroma. Woody and perfumey elements come forward toward the end of what is an otherwise standard (but still tasty) cascade-driven IPA. Very good.

Nice IPA, very strong citrus presence. Suprisingly good. Very aromatic, nice aroma hops, not overpoweringly bitter.
