This is one of the only estate-made ales available in the world today. Produced with hops and barley produced on the premises of our brewery in Chico, this ale reflects the flavors of our surroundings in California’s fertile central valley. By growing out own ingredients, we ensure the finest two-row barley and the freshest hops on earth, from the field and into the brew kettle.

Sampled in the big bottle. A really nice IPA. Mild hoppage give it a nice smooth flavor. Pours light brown with a thin head. A really nice drink, good alcohol, smooth and refreshing.

This bottle from bhensonb (Thanks again) pours an orangish brown with a light brown head. Hopps is the nose. This Ipa has a slightly metallic, grassy bitterness to the hopps that is nicely balanced with a sweet maltiness. I didn’t know what to expect from this beer as most of the Siearra Nevada I’ve had is pretty ordinary stuff. This beer is well made and would be welcome in my beer fridge anytime.

Copper appearance with a thick white head. Aroma is hops, not too overpowering. Flavor is pleasantly hoppy with a decently balanced body. Lively but not overpowering, definitely recommended.

Wonderful appearance, but not much in the aroma unfortunately. This is a good beer. Certainly hoppy up front, a bit of fruitiness in the middle. The only real complaint on this beer is that it’s overpriced compared to their other beers, which are almost as excellent but much more affordable.

Bomber from Canals in Pennsauken, NJ. Clear bright copper under a medium dusky beige head with fairly heavy lacing. Straighforward West Coast hop bomb aromas if fresh pine and ruby red grapefruit. Plenty of citrus with compliments of milk chocolate, vanilla and a touch of white pepper strapped atop a rich caramel malt backbone. Silky texture and mostly dry bitter finish. An assertive and well balanced IPA.

This is one of the smoothest IPA’s. Very drinkable and has a very nice mouth feel to it. Only thing I didnt like was the price.

Bottle - pours a hazy orange with a decent white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, hops and floral. Nice bitter flavor with plenty of grapefruit, hops and flowers. This a very tasty IPA that won’t disappoint. Really enjoyed this Estate brew by SN.
