Pours a deep copper like some IPAs with a good sized off white head. Has the typical sierra nevada aroma with a pleasant fruitiness, but it’s pretty subdued. really nice hops present in the finish, grassy, very grapefruit and citrus rinds. Doesn’t have a huge malt backbone but it’s definitely present with a little caramel and bready flavors.. Very much west coast, I really liked the fresh bitterness in this one. i was one of the many that were disappointed with celebration this year, but this one makes up for it. Could afford to have a thicker body, but I’m a fan of everything else about the beer.

Nov 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich copper color with slight off white head. Smells hoppy and sweet. Tastes like bread grains, sweet malts, bittersweet hops, a little sugary. Very good.

Rich, malty beer, full of grainy flavour. Ending up in a dry, well hopped finish. Very nice.
