Poured a cloudy orange/copper with a tall foamy tan head. The aromas were of pine and grapefruit. The initial taste was crisp and clean and it builds to a good hop bite. The flavors of grapefruit and pine come through in the taste as well. There is a nice underneath sweetness to balance the hops, that rolls to a good strong Sierra Nevada hop finish

Dec 30, 2009 This beer pours a brownish copper color with a medium white head that dissipates quickly. The aromas are citrus, spruce, and earthy. The palate is quite dry and bitter on the front getting even more bitter at the end. This was a good beer! Cheers!

Dec 30, 2009 Hoppy - a bit dry. Rich and sharp. It’s not my favorite family of beers, but it is helping win me over.

Dec 27, 2009 great IPA. Nice nose of bitter hops, some citrus. Medium to full body for an IPA, well rounded flavor again with some citrus, great bold hop flavor, very smooth and clean finish. Slightly sweet, but not in a bad way, somewhat unique for IPA, which was nice.

Dec 24, 2009 I’m rating the 13th anniversary edition here. This beer’s taste registers in two primary stages: upfront, well balanced malts, followed by a progressively hoppy experience with a semisweet, semibitter finish. This beer tastes of quality, but perhaps even more important, balance. Thumb up!

Dec 21, 2009 ottimo l’aroma iniziale che poi piano piano lascia spazio ad un persistente amaro di luppolo.
