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.

Bottle. Poured copper in color with a creamy, off-white head that leaves good lacing. Very nice pine and citrus aromas. The flavor finds citrus and light pine mixed with a malt background. Light to medium body. Medium bitterness throughout. Very nice and clean. (Rating from Sept ’07)

Bright amber with a large and lasting white head. Sweet, gentle hop aroma with pine and citrus. Taste, mainly grapefruit, but with other fruits I can’t quite identify, is pleasant enough, but lacks the impact I was hoping for. Sharply bitter finish.

Bottle, 35cl. Nice clear orangevolored beer. The head is nice and off-white. The aroma is hops with notes of citrus and fruits. The flavor is rich of hops, mainly grapefruit. My guess is chinook and cascade, could be centennial. Overall an IPA around average.

Pours a stunning orange-copper with a great creamy head with excellent retention. Aroma is sweet, with notes of orange creamsicle, very faint though. As the head was still present when I sipped I tasted it first - it was like cotton-candy, sweet orange! When I got to the liquid it was sweet and orangey at first, but opened up into a leafy bitterness that complimented the orange perfectly, ending on a dry note with just a hint of orange blossom. Wow! Body is thin but crisp and well carbonated. This is a really pleasant beer, and I like the fruity character. Light and contemplative.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange. Semi lasting white head. Aroma is pine wood dry hops. Semi sweet flavour and dry pine wood hops flavour. Light sweet note intermixing this. Ends once again into a rather dry finish. Crisp and clean.

Bottle. Nice Amber beer, with white head. Citrus aroma, could be cascade or centenial. Grapefruit bitternes, could come from chinook. Not much malt flavour.
