Nov 26, 2008 24oz bottle. Dark amber pour, with a white head and very good lacing. Nice hop aroma, very floral, nice. Mild muted bitterness, very fresh (of course). Very good.

Nov 21, 2008 On tap, arrived with a nice amber colored body with a thin white whispy head. Immediate notes of piney, sticky delicious hops fills the nose and I can smell the dry bitter crispness. I was really surprised by the depth of this beer. The first sip was just as it smelled, bitter & piney with notes of grapefruit and citrus peel. Then following few mouthfuls really started to let the thick sappy fresh hop flavor come alive. I felt the like body got progressively thicker as the bitterness numbed outer layers of my cheeks and tongue. I really enjoyed this beer.

Nov 21, 2008 Consumed in a fervor last night with JDKrone. Thick rocky head that is vaporized by piney hops. Nose is hops as expected with undertone of citrus then a fair smattering of malt. MEdium plus body that balances the alcohol content very well. Nothing fades during the 30 minute consumption. Very nice

Nov 21, 2008 Updated: Jun 27, 2009Bottle poured into a pint glass. Strong two-finger head, decent retention and beautiful lacing. Citrus hops dominate the aroma, setting up expectations of a strong IPA experience. Hops seemed more piney on the tongue, and were nicely offset by a clear malt background.
Medium body, great carbonation and a crisp clean aftertaste. Hops rule the show and do so very well.
2009: Another terrific offering. Well balanced, with a nice sharp biting hops taste. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel, but same crisp aftertaste.

Nov 20, 2008 Amber with a fluffy head that lingers.... Aroma of citrus and piney hops.... Citrusy hops continue through out.... I like this better than the Chico Estate, but this is not nearly as interesting to me... The balance is excellent for me, and it finishes very clean....

Nov 20, 2008 24oz bottle. Pours an orange amber with a large white head and spotty lacing. Aromas of grassy, piney, citrusy hops. Flavors of citrus and grassy hops with little to no malt backbone.

Nov 19, 2008 Pours out a nice amber topped with a cream head. Aroma of cut grass and citrus. Tast more of the fresh citrus and grass. A nice malt mix also. Another great IPA from Sierra Nevada.

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Dude, something missing. Has the potential for excellence but misses out. Leaves the mouth drier than a old lady’s…yeah, I won’t quite go there. But still pretty yum and I’d get it again.
