Now you know I must have some love for Sierra Nevada if I put the Green Flash IPA on the "next" list and opt to try this one first.
An early spring beer you say? Well. It’s January you know.
Pours a clear golden amber with a nice creme head that is leaving some good lace. Minimally woody nose that brings just a minor earthy tone to it. Not much else going on besides that. Nice rounded flavor. Almost tastes like woody apples? There is a definite fruit tone there. Noticeable sweetness. Overall more earthy than any other defining feature. Feel is smooth with carbonation and the liquid is nice too. A pretty easy drinker, though there is a bit of an earthy edge. Nice production.

Jul 21, 2008 Another nice one from Sierra Nevada: Pours a clear bright copper colour with a beige head. Aroma is funny- semi sweet-semi floral- not sure what it is, but its unique. Taste however is nothing special, but still enjoyable, Soft citrus fruit, with wheat flavor.

Jul 19, 2008 Pours to a red copper. Spicy hops aroma. A bitter hops initial flavor with a sweet finish. Very balanced. The sweet is not too overbearing.

Jul 16, 2008 Draft: Poured an orange color with not much head. The aroma was of pine citrus and hops. The flavor was a little bit extra, a little bit special and a little bit bitter. Overall, a decent beer that reminds me more of a double IPA and ESB, but good.

Jul 14, 2008 From the bottle pours soft golden amber with a small white head. Toasty cereal notes up front, soft chocolate and some citrus and tropical fruit to the hops. Finish is earthy but crisp, with a dry bready flavor that sits back under the hops.
