sebou42	4 Sequoia Pale Ale Sunday, December 25, 2022
PugUglyBrewer	3.3 Sequoia Oktoberfest Rich amber color with a soapy off-white head. Nutty, toffee, caramel, and some maple in the aroma and flavor. My real problem with it is the sizer I got had some bottling issues. Upon opening the caps there was a violent hiss which erupted with foam causing the pour to be disrupted. Working in sales for beer I have heard they had exploding bottle problems. Over-carbonation can ruin any recipe especially the potential that Tioga has to dominate their regional market.

slowrunner77	3.5 Sequoia Jackass Meadows pretty nice if color by the numbers pine and forward IIPA. Good bitterness, with some resin, and biscuit and caramel malt to balance. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
slowrunner77	2.6 Sequoia Oatmeal Stout some nice scores here, but I was not a fan. Liked the porter better. This was a small beer that couldn’t stand up to the nitro pour. Watery with a sweet flavor and aroma that lacked any depth. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
slowrunner77	2.7 Sequoia Irish Stout what’s with the generic pics? The color ain’t even close. Anyway, standard pub dry irish on nitro. Light in body and flavor. Nothing bad, just fairly uninspiring. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
slowrunner77	3.3 Sequoia Black Oak Porter nice little porter that had a heavier than usuall roast (and a touch less caramel) for the style - ended up being better and more robust than the oatmeal stout. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
slowrunner77	3.3 Sequoia Big Horn Red IPA one of their better brews that I sampled. Nice mix of citrus and pine hops and a nice crystal malt. Light to medium bodied and clean. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
slowrunner77	3 Sequoia Pale Ale Classic APA. Not terribly exciting, but not bad either. Standard pub pale ale. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
slowrunner77	3.1 Sequoia Hopfest 559 Pale Ale average or slightly above - somewhere between apa and ipa. light and fruity with some pine and caramel malt balance. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
slowrunner77	3.8 Sequoia Jacob Marley Classic Winter warmer type barleywine - loads of malt and dark fruit, and not much in the way of hops. The liter bottles were laughable at $30 each, but this ruby hued barleywine was nice, and covered the 11.6% (in 2015) very well. Wednesday, December 23, 2015

dwyerpg	3.5 Sequoia Moto Brew Pale Ale A super fruity orange aroma with hops. The flavor is that of a pretty plain pale ale. Easy drinking but doesn’t live up to the excellent aroma. Monday, September 1, 2014
dwyerpg	1.6 Sequoia Blossom Trail Ale A light fruit aroma. This is not good. A pale lager flavor with some fruit and dirt. Not even refreshing. Monday, September 1, 2014

dwyerpg	3.2 Sequoia 99 Golden Ale A reddish color, this is at first hoppy for a second and the the fruitiness overrides the hops. A decent beer but the pilsner is superior. Sunday, June 2, 2013
dwyerpg	4.5 Sequoia Buzzsaw Double IPA This is quite excellent. Tons of hops and flavor, without that much alcohol flavor. I mean, you know it’s strong but it doesn’t taste too aggressive. Great. Sunday, June 2, 2013
DocJitsu	4.4 Sequoia Big Horn Red IPA Pours a rusty red amber color with a light taupe, very thin head. Very little head at all, in fact. It has a huge grapefruit nose. A very grapefruity flavor. Balanced well with the grain. Nice slick, wet mouthfeel. Finishes a little crisp, but mostly juicy. Right up my alley. Saturday, March 30, 2013
