Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Brewed by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Chico, California USA

The ale has an amber appearance with good head. It is spicy and smells great. I am generally not a big fan of Sierra Nevadas brews, but this one deserves some respect. The alcohol content is not overwhelming and the sweet undertones make this a fine pint to go with some dessert. The finish is smooth making this a treat for the tongue.

Nice orange-amber color. Long-lasting, thick white head. Smells like piney hops. Tastes of hops with a medium body. Nice.

I had on draft a nice copper color with a white head. Smell of some pine and flowery hops. The taste of bitter herbal flavors and grapefruit with sweet malt also coming through on the end.

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.
