Sierra Nevada India Pale Ale
I love this brewery! Thats why I was expecting more when I tried this. A - Poured from a 12oz. bottle, into a pint glass. The beer poured a deep orange, forming a fluffy 1/4 inch head, leaving medium lacing in its wake. S - Aroma is all hops, but not nearly as strong as expected. Sweet citrus smell. T - Light citrus flavor, with a very sharp finish. This is almost like their Celebration Ale, but with way less flavor, and a sharp finish instead of a smooth one. M - Medium mouthfeel, with a decent amount of carbonation. Overall, I had higher hopes for this brew. I had been wanting to try it for so long, that maybe my expectations for it had become unreasonable. I know Sierra Nevada is a kick*ss brewery, so maybe I just got a bad batch, or its possible that my palate just isnt right tonight. Anyhow, I will try this again another time, and compare.
