Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Cloudy orange liquid with a hefty, pale yellow froth. Nose is very all about the hops. Piney and citric. Though not as much as past years? Taste is similar. Pine sap, resin, pine twigs and bark and roots all mixed together in a grapefruity punch. The hops here are equally juicy and bitter. Toasted caramel backbone. Nothing truly noteworthy, but definately sufficient. Amidst all the hop carnage, There is an upswelling of cherry near the close as pricks of brandied alcohol dot the finish. Bitterness is deep and lingering. Smooth and creamy in the mouth. Glides across the tongue to slowly assassinate braincells. Literally poundable. One to be careful with. Very good stuff...stands with Sasquatch as my fav SN product.
