Commercial Description:
The 2007 Anniversary Ale features prominent usage of Cascade hops– the signature hop used in Sierra Nevada’s most popular product, Pale Ale. It is an American Style IPA with a big, fragrant pine and citrus hop aroma balanced by the sweetness of two-row pale and caramel malt. It finishes with an additional Cascade dry-hopping creating a big hop aroma Sierra Nevada fans will look forward to.

Not much to say. Crushed with Honkeybra before a redneck demo derby. Took it from the bottle so have to guess on the appearance, but it’s one I’d try again.

12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Reddish amber pour with a nice three finger head. Great retention. Pine and citrus hop aroma. Very strong hop taste, vegetal and very fresh. Some sweet malts to back it up. Refreshing.

Didn’t know this was an IPA when I bought this, pleasant surprise.. Grassy hops and some citrus i guess(barely). crisp, slightly bitter back end.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small off-white head. Fruity nose, of the tropical kind, with malty sweetness and piney hops. Quite sweet flavor with fruityness, pine and resin, but not as bitter as expected. Medium to full body, and a nice fruity and resiny finish. Good drinkability, but not a thirst-quencher.(080620)

Thankfully, the event I was at had this beer on tap, and I went to this one several times over the course of a few days. The aroma carries a nice spicey pine aroma with a bit of citrus thrown in for good measure. The flavor has a good balance of citrus hops and biscuity/caramel malts. Very easy to drink and quite refreshing, especially when the choices were severly limited.

From the 2008 version. Piney aroma, modest creamy head with good lacings. Full amber color, nice citrus grapefruit hops with a good malt backup. Nice IPA.

Bottle thanks to Ethan. 2008 Anniversary. Pours hazy orange/amber with foamy one-finger white head that recedes but stays around. This beer is nothing super special, but I really loved it. Tasted so fresh. Great citrus and the perfect amount of resiny Cascade hops. Not too strong. Crisp, refreshing. An excellent session beer.

Taste 7/8 bottle 2008 Anniversary. Looks: Nice gold/amber, thick head. Aroma: Citrus and florals. Taste: Strong but not too overbearing hops. Crisp and spicy. Wouldn’t mind a little more malt.
