Sierra Nevada Bigfoot

What impressed me 1st about this beer was the intense hoppiness and bitter after taste, what I look forward to in a beer. From your 1st sip this beer says ’hello!’. I can’t imagine how much better this beer get with age, I’ll have to buy a case and find out for myself (if I can hold it for that long and not drink it).

2001: ’These go to eleven’ (-Spinal Tap). Extreme (ridiculous?) amounts of hops and malt just turn up the volume with this brew. The nose is stong and floral. The intense bitter hop flavor comes through immediately, but is well supported by a rich, malt body. You can perceive the alcohol in the palate, which intensifies an already powerful taste. Not great with most foods, but a perfect dessert beer. Love this stuff because it is over the top.

Dark amber, nice head. Hop-fruity (apricot) aroma and flavour with a touch of chocolate. Full-bodied. Long bitter aftertaste. Excellent beer. I want more.

Best barleywine that I’ve had. Potent, but still tastes like beer (unlike Old Foghorn...great, but more like Sherry than beer)

I agree a huge hop contant doesn’t make a bad beer good, but ir makes a good beer better, atleast for my taste buds...I love thios beer because of it’s bitter, spiceness that can only be achieved with huge hop content, however the flavor of the carmel malts is still detectable, try to age one for a couple years, it mellows the hops just a bit, either way...NOTHING beats a 6-pack of these...

Great smell, wonderful taste,smooth as hell good fucking beer. knock you on your ass! yep, I love this Beer.

Right as a beer can get in my book, This now my fav. beer. It reminds me of the first time I ever took a drink of sierra nevada pale ale. great mix, smooth-kickass flavor, and stamp it with a sierra nevada logo and its a winner.
