Sierra Nevada Bigfoot

bottle 355ml from Alko Arkadia 2007 5,01€ shared. Copper tiny white head lacing. Still kicking strong bitterness on interesting complex malty fruity body. Last bottle from my cellar. More please..

On tap at Abbey on Miami Beach. Like Pinesol and grain alcohol. One of the best!

2006 bottle sampled as a bonus beer at the Avery tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits. Thanks to Dave for bringing this one to share. Opaque amber pour with a medium tan head. Caramel malt aroma with cascade hops. Sugary malt flavor up front with caramel, wood, alcohol and an earthy hop finish.

Lots of hops. There’s almost enough malt to balance. Medium body with a little creamy texture. It finishes with a slight grapefruit bitterness.

(Bottle, 2009 vintage, at Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki, on 2009-05-22) Deep amber and clear. Medium sized and lightly tan coloured head. Hops, grass and malts in aroma. Full bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Malts, hops, grass, strong bitterness, sweetness and alcohol in taste. Malts and strong bitterness in aftertaste. The bitterness was a bit too strong for my taste.

12 oz 2009 bottle courtesy of the dorkmeister, Adrian. Pours a dark semi clear honey colour with red tint. Had a light off-white head which left a lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, hops and more hops. Also, if you can get past the hops, there’s an aroma of citrusy fruits and malt. Taste is very hoppy, citrusy, dry and on the bitter side.

09 bottle. Huge hop aroma. Loads of citrus, grapefruit, rich malts and caramel. Flavor is bitter hops, citrus and floral hop sweetness, booze and malt sweetness. Finishes very bitter. Needs some age.

2009 Big beautiful head, dense. Amber color with hit of red. Big aroma, both malty and hoppy, a ’full bodied’ aroma. Flavor: alcohol, bitter, grapefruit. Malt on side of the tongue. Rich and full, per Mike, ’Vibrant’ Lots of flavor and feel. A meal of a beer.
