Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
A - Poured into a pint glass. Very nice clear blaze orange hue with an inche of off white head. Reminded me off fall. Very nice on the eyes. S - A distict hoppy citrus and grainy smell from 2 feet away. Under my nose, I could find fruity alcohol esters and a desecnt bready malt backbone. Nothing compared to the citrus and grain from the hops. Very nice. T - Very much of the same. I didn't expect the malt to come through like it did. It balanced this hoppy brew very nicely. M - I think this is one of the fullest mouthfells on an IPA to date. Oily resins coat the mouth after each swallow. IMHO - I really enjoyed this beer. If I had the option, I would choose SN's Celebration Ale IPA over this one. Definately made my top 5 though. If you love IPA's, don't pass it up.
