Sierra Nevada Glissade Golden Bock
This beer pours a crystal clear honey orange yellow body with a small white head. Nose is mild yet dominated a fresh cut grain malt smell. Taste is right along the same lines. Medium bodied yet feels lighter than it really is, especially at 6.4 abv. Huge domination a slightly bitter, but very clean and earthy, fresh cut almost 6 row type harsh malt taste. Very reminisant of a 40oz malt liquor but with loads of fresh grain and big fresh, but mild, hops. Ends with a very even malt and hop bitterness. Interesting beer. I'm not quite sure what direction Sierra Nevada is headed, but take a big Budweiser with some hops and you get Glissade. I dig the idea of golden bock, and at 6.4abv I hesitate to call this a lawnmower beer for anyone but a hardcore beer nerd. :-). Well... This is fabulous lawnmower beer, that's about it.
