Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
2006 Celebration Ale Serving Type: Bottle into glass Appearance: Pours an light amber/orange/red with a beautiful creamy off-white head that lingers with a decent amount of lacing. Smell: Aroma is predominantly hoppy with small amount of alcohol present, but not much. Also, a spicy, almost cimmamon-like, aroma can be found. Taste: Bitter and dry. Lots of hoppy bitterness with a small amount of malts. Very small hints of spice come through. Also, there appears to be a certain citrusy flavor present. Mouthfeel: Light body with a decent amount of carbonation. Drinkability: I would not make this a session beer, and honestly, I would not drink this at any other time during the year except the holidays. I am glad I gave this a try, and will certainly buy a few more if I can get a hold of some and keep them for next year. Not overly impressive, but a good choice around Christmas time.
