beer_name: Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
text: 2009 version. Poured from the bottle into my Duvel goblet with an nice head and some lace. A very pretty dark copper color. Smell is more subdued than I expected from other reviews, and not nearly as hoppy as I expected. Some citrus and pine but also a nice malty character. Taste closely follows the smell. A very well balanced offering. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp with a nice bitter finish. Drinkability is fine - several of these would be just fine with me. Note: I like this better than last year's version.
