Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale

12 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy orange amber with a medium white head. Aroma is pretty typical IPA: citrusy hops, a bit of sweetness. Flavor is hop-forward with citrus, grassy, and piney hops. A little biscuity pale malt backs it up. Another good IPA from Sierra Nevada, though not quite up to the standard set by Celebration.

i didn’t notice much of a difference between this and the regular ipa. It was a bit stronger and had a bit more bite. In the end I was happy to have had it

Pours slight cloudy copper with medium head that does not last. Aroma very full and pleasant although I cannot pinpoint. Palate very soft and smooth, makes for easy drinking. Taste is typical of sierra Nevada, very unique and flavorful. Balanced at start with a very hoppy finish that lingers. Love the hops in this one

This is a really nice IPA, that I am diggin. One word that comes to mind (because I read it in the last review) is piney. Another word is delicious hop fiesta in my mouth. Very good IPA, which I will drink.

Nice aroma of earthy and piney hops. The appearance is an attractive amber color, lots of white foam, typical for this style. The flavor is very hoppy, a split between pine and citrus, with malty sweetness, mainly caramel. Very nice balance between them. The palate has a refreshing burn of citrusy hops. Very nice beer overall.

Bottle. Amber in color. Aroma is strong Heavy on the hops, very bitter after taste.

12oz. bottle on 9/29/08. Overall impression: Wow! Then the palate seemed to change to a carnonated grapefruit beverage. A bit grassy finish. However, the use of cascade hops is signiture with this brewery. I love my hops, but this was slightly too much.

12oz - Pungent pine and citrus hops and a doughy caramel malt. Pours cloudy orange-brown with a small head Flavor is very well balanced with the hops up front followed by the smooth creamy caramel malt. Palate is tart then creamy and smooth. Very Nice.
