Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale (2007-2009)
2009 Anniversary Ale on sale for 7.99. What the heck I figured, SN is always good! A- Pours a dark golden/reddish color, with a nice thick off-white head. S- Smells of pine, citrus, and malty sweetness. T- This is a well balanced IPA. Nice hoppiness upfront, a bit bitter in the finish. Some sweetness in the finish as well. After a few moments I do pick up on some peppery/jalapeno taste! Very interesting. M- This beer made my mouth feel "prickly" for lack of a better term. Not too watery, nice and tart. The carbonation probably plays a big part in this. D- I love to session IPAs, and this one would be great one after another. Overall, a pretty fantastic IPA, although not quite as enjoyable as Torpedo. Congrats on another year of brewing delicious beers, Sierra Nevada! We appreciate it.
