Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Bottle. Appearance: Clear amber, light beige head. Aroma: Sweet citrusy hops. Palate: Medium. Flavor: Hops, citrus (grapefruit maybe?), very light pine comes out as it warms. Overall: Didn’t realize this was an IPA when I bought it, although it became pretty obvious as soon as poured it. Other than that, I still cant figure out why this is a holiday beer... the piney taste is mild at best. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty good IPA, especially for the price, but it shouldn’t be a seasonal brew.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Lukas, KCMO. Pour is golden, orange amber, clear with a one inch off white head. Aroma of resin hops, malt and a touch of pine. Taste is big, resinous hops. Bitter from start to finish. Nice earthy / citrus after taste. The hop is really bright on this one, though there is a decent amount of malt to balance it out. Nice IPA.

malty flavor with hints of citrus and pine. Excellent Christmas beer perfect for the beer lover who does not like the "cookie-flavored" Christmas beers.

Excellent Sierra Nevada offering. Dark Golden, medium soft head. Aroma of a pine forest. Taste is sharp citrus with a pine influence. Very drinkable. I would like to have this as a regular drinking staple.

Bright light amber color. White frothy head. Big aroma of fragrant hops and some malt. Citrus and pine hop flavor with malt in the background. Good body and quite smooth. Bitter and dry finish. Good IPA.

Pretty good but not great. Taste and appearance were up to par. nice aroma of a hop combo. Flavor was just average, although there was a nice bitter finish.

12 oz bottle - nice copper color with a off-white head that dissipated pretty fast. Aroma and taste much more hoppy than I expected. Decent beer for a session beer and easy access to it. I liked it.

12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine Fort Lauderdale, FL for $1.79 Very good.
