Pours a bit darker than expected, looks wonderful. Smells hoppy with hints of citrus fruit. Taste is malty, very citrusy, crisp, incredibly easy to drink. This gets me excited for Sierra Nevada’s IPA. Really complete, excellent tasting beer that’s unbelievably easy to drink. A-level beer. Didn’t notice too much of a difference from the bottle, to be honest.

Oct 31, 2008 Great meal pairing for a cusine of brisket, ribs, beans, mashed potatoes and other western frontier fare. Nice hop aroma and citrus bite with a great lightly sweet malt backbone.

Oct 25, 2008 On tap, pours a clear darkish yellow with a nice creamy tap white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrusy, sweet malts. The biggest difference from the bottled version to me is that this one is crisper, probably from more sweetness and less bittering hops, but the flavors are still almost identical, spicy notes, citrus and floral hops over a nice pale malt body. Nice dry finish.

Oct 18, 2008 On tap @ SFO airport. Pours a clear amber color with a fluffy white head. Mildly hoppy aroma, somewhat floral, clean. Touch of spiciness in the body, doesn’t seem to have same hoppiness as bottled version, but does finish extra dry. A standard.
