Clear amber with with large beige head. sweet aroma with hops, pine and caramel notes. Sweet flavour with toasted malt, caramel and hoppy notes towards the end. Bitter finish.

Really strong hops and bitterness. Not for everyday. Sierra usually makes good stuff.

dark coppor pour with massive head that lasted forever leaving nice lacing. I almost had to get a spoon out...taste is bitter, spicy and hoppy! Yum - aftertaste is very smooth and pleasing to the palate. Mouthfeel is well carbonated and nice. Good thing I bought plenty of this. Merry Christmas.

Nice well balanced beer this one. Deep amber with minimal beige head. Aroma is a nice sweet hoppy aroma. Flavour is a mix of really nice upfront sweetness that finishes with a firm but pleasent hop bitterness.

A solid IPA from SN.
