Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale (2007-2009)
Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale pours a beautiful deep gold, with a nice head with good retention. The smell is significant, and just what would be expected from a hoppy beery. Its taste is just the punch expected from Sierra Nevada. It's a bit hoppier than SN's Pale Ale, but below their Southern Hemisphere. Hoppy and flowery, an excellent taste. The mouthfeel has a nice body, but it is not too heavy with the right amount of carbonation. Overall, I found this to be a very drinkable beer for its hop a ABV content. Definitely worth a try or two.
