Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale

Bottle bought at the Utah State Store. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head with excellent lacing. The aroma is tons of caramel and sweet citrus hops. The flavor is very nice; tons of ripe grapefruit, some bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Some light caramel malts and biscuit also. The hops really stand out, not just by being prominent, anyone can add a shitload of an ingredient, but they are so clean and fresh. I’m glad I had this so soon after this year’s release. Very nice, for a good price and easy availability Sierra Nevada is awesome.

This golden ale poured with a decent off-white head. It is nicely hopped over a tasty caramel malt base.

2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber, copper color with a decent white head. Aroma is of hops and grassy pine notes. Pretty smooth on the palate. Weaker for an IPA but a nice drinkable beer.

like most of the Sierra Nevada strong on flavor and hops. a very well crafted brew the taste on the palate is wonderful.12 oz bottle

Bottled(355ml). -Dark golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, spicy citrusy nose. Typical sharp Cascade hops, mild alcoholic and light fruity taste with citrusy and herbal notes. Soft mouthfeel, long slight hoppy aftertaste.Very good IPA.

Bottle. Light copper in color with a thin white head. Nice hop aroma. Medium palate. It has a nice hop start, a fruity middle and a mildly bitter finish.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white head recedes to coat surface. Mild resin aromas. Crisp and well balanced with upfront caramel malts and a lasting pine and grapefruit finish.

Poured a great-looking caramel orange color with a small white fluffy head. Taste is very good for an IPA, not overly bitter by any means. Just a slight hop taste in the finish. I’m pleasantly surprised by this beer.
