Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Very clean and crisp. Pours a beautiful burnt orange. Like a late autumn sunset, this is a good looking beer. Nice head that seems to last for the duration. Once can tell that this beer is fresh just from the look. Smell is clean and refreshing. Once again, bitter hops explode out of the bottle. Lemon and orange can be observed. Smells like a light winter snowfall day in Northern Minnesota. What the heck is this beer being made in California for. Nice. Taste. Very strong IPA flavor. Top notch. Clean. Fresh. Pine. Hops. However, the bitterness is not overpowering. Nicely done Sierra. Mouthfeel is light. Not heavy. I do wish the flavor would linger a little longer. Seems to disappear as soon as the brew hits the stomach. Could have stayed around. We are friends my beer and I. Why rush away so soon? Drinkability - Overall, I feel that this is a very good IPA. I would seek this beer out again. However, I do enjoy a stronger bite but the clean and crisp taste of a recently made beer says a lot. I really appreciate how "new" this beer tastes.
