Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Pours dark amber with off white head. Pine hop aroma with some caramel also. Sweet malt flavor with a moderately bitter finish. Medium body with average and a resinous mouthfeel. A solid Sierra Nevada product. A great beer at a great price.

On tap: redish amber color, warm and inviting taste. A little hops and some bitter citris, but not bad for the holidays.

low price point, perfect ABV, warm and inviting color, perfectly hopped....most sessioniable beer ever -- taking the cake only from regular SN pale ale. id buy a few skids of this if i could.

Great balance for a IPA. Floral pine hops with a well balance malt. Medium orange amber color with a decent amount of head. A great winter beer.

2008 might be one of my favorite so far. Pours to a nice amber color with a decent sized head. Notes of wood on the nose. On the palate, it’s smooth and malty. Great beer.

2008......really all about the hops....beautiful floral, resinous, piney deliciousness.....it doesn’t get much better than this....however i did drink this alongside an alpha king and the alpha king kicked its ass despite the brilliance of this beer. I give the edge to the celebration because it was 14 bucks for a 12 pack compared to the 11 dollar sixer of the alpha king.

Nice amber color with floral aroma. Good amount of bittering hops but not overloaded. Nice and strong for the wintertime.

Bottle. Pours a nice orange color with a large white head. Aromas of roasted malts, many hops, and more hops. Nice texture with an oily yet creamy feel. Lots of hops aftertaste but not too much that it damages the beer. Probably one of the best holiday beers I have tasted.
