AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 jmshulk (4) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 21, 2011Aroma: A fresh citrus, hay mix. I really like the smell of this beer, makes me think of a nice summer day.
Appearance: Pours a clear, golden yellow/orange with a frothy white head that leaves nice lacing.
Taste: A little malty to start and eventually leads to a nice hoppy finish, but not too bitter, just right. The only knock might be that it lingers a little too long.
Palate: Medium bodied, with a silky feel.
Overall: Great beer, I feel bad drinking this with 5 inches of snow on the ground, but I wouldn’t turn down another.
doriangrey (178) - Diamond Creek, AUSTRALIA - APR 17, 2018An amazing beer in its time but now superseded by many better ones. Still very refreshing though. Not too hoppy and quite malty and packs a bit of a pinch at 5.6%. Light mandarin orange background and pretty quaffable
thejackpacker (849) - East Sussex, ENGLAND - APR 16, 2018Bottle from system. A decent ale and a big history behind it. Nothing remarkable
Beerwithwings (431) - Hampshire, ENGLAND - APR 14, 2018UPDATED: APR 14, 2018 Bottle at home bought from a local supermarket. Is an okay pale but is so old school now. Lacks hops and lacks flavour but is a fairly good beer
Letshaveatry (49) - Winchester, Hampshire, ENGLAND - APR 12, 2018UPDATED: APR 12, 2018 355ml bottle. Clear amber beer with sweet taste changing to a slight bitterness. No real hop aroma or taste, but solid malt. No carbonation, but a nice head
snowcrash000 (209) - Cologne, GERMANY - APR 6, 2018Pours a clear, deep gold/light amber coloration with a medium, fizzy head. Smells faintly of biscuity, bready malt, with a certain graininess coming through as well and the merest hint of citrus and pine. Taste is a good balance of biscuity malt and citrus hops, with just a hint of pine coming through and an underlaying grainy and slightly flowery note. Finishes with crisp, light/medium bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel with a light/medium body and medium carbonation. I wasn't gonna review this as first, as my bottle is a good six months old. However, reading the other reviews and knowing that SN are actually masters of brewing beers that keep well, I feel that the beer is actually supposed to have this slightly understated malt/hop presence, which is kind of typical of a classic, old school Pale Ale, I suppose. It's well balanced, crisp and easy-drinking, but lacks a certain bite and doesn't really seem that special. Maybe it really is better fresh, who knows.

Oiolosse (244) - Granada, SPAIN - APR 3, 2018El borrador de SNPA en todos los otros lugares es una receta diferente y se enumera por separado.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale es un delicioso ejemplo del clásico estilo pale ale. Tiene un color ámbar profundo y un carácter excepcionalmente corpulento y complejo. El aroma fragante y el sabor picante son el resultado del uso generoso de los mejores lúpulos Cascade. <P> Botella acondicionada.

Banksiz (166) - Sacramento, California, USA - APR 1, 2018Piney nose, with some flowery notes. Orange and tangerine notes as it breathes. Medium body, moderate malty sweetness. Pleasant bitterness with a nice hop flavor. Bitter finish with no harshness. Well-balanced pale ale that's not overdone in alcohol or bitterness.
BudBlack (35) - GERMANY - MAR 30, 2018(0,355l Flasche) Klar bernsteinfarben im Glas, mit moderater Schaumkrone. Im Aroma sehr schöner heller Malzkörper mit sehr dezenter Fruchtigkeit. Im Geschmack steht eher eine reife, südfruchtige Note über dem Malzkörper. Sehr dezente Bittere, vor allem im Abgang. Insgesamt ein schön ausbalanciertes PA.
