Jul 9, 2008 Bottle from BevMo in Fairfield, CA. One of the better brews from Sierra Nevada. The use of hops were very controlled in this brew. Good beer.

Jul 8, 2008 From the new BevMo in Fairfield, CA. Hands down, this is the best beer I’ve had from Sierra. I’m guessing because it was fresh-hopped they age their hops before making their pales. Not a fan of the latter...

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. We just got this beer in Georgia, but I had it on tap in Denver last Winter and was so excited when I saw it bottled! I drank this beer at Falling Rock Taphouse with snow on the ground outside. Pretty romantic beer scene for a South Georgia boy. Let’s see how it compares to draft...
Beautiful true amber color with a medium-thick, foamy off-white head. Bright hop aromas and almost a Dawn dish detergent aroma in the background (did I rinse my glass?) Bright citrus, too. This beer smells like it has more than 6.7% EtOH. Milder taste than I remember. Good IPA, but this beer is missing depth. Nevertheless, I enjoy the smooth malt and black pepper that hide behind the long, bitter finish. Good IPA, but not quite what I remember.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle treat from Mes. I did really like this as I do with quite a few Sierra Nevada beers. Fresh and light on the palate, hoppy, right amount of bitterness, spruce aroma. Dark amber with a ncie head. Would love to have again.

Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Oct 18, 20082007. bottle. solid ipa with a spicy hop profile. heavier on the aroma than bittering. light palate and little hint of the higher abv. unique and definitely worth trying.
2008. mmm. great balance between malt body and spicy citrus pine hop. lightly sweet. moderate bitter. well rounded, easy drinking, great flavor. well done.

Jun 28, 2008 Love me a good IPA, and this one fits the bill. Got the big bottle from Total Wine and enjoyed this with the guys in Raleigh. I will probably grab a couple more.

Jun 26, 2008 Fresh 24oz bottle, pours out an orange amber with a thick fluffy white head. Big citrus floral hop aroma with a hint of spiciness, like they dry hopped it a lot. Taste is smooth malt, bitter hops and slightly chewy resinous from the hops. Leaves a long bitter finish. Not an outstanding ipa, but for the money, this is a really good value for a solid brew.
