Hands down the best beer out there. I actually didn’t care for the "bite" after my first bottle, but since then, I will take a Sierra Nevada any time. Can’t say enough. Color, taste, aroma, it has it all. The only problem I have ever had, is the bottle strength. They seem to break very easy and then I waste a bottle of the greatest Beer ever.
