Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Poured amber/orange into a pint glass, had a thick white head with a good retention leaves heavy lacing. Huge smell of spicy-hoppy grapefruit and pine and a little bit of something sweeter like cinnamon toast. The aroma is absolutely amazing. Toasty malt and mild spice up front, followed quickly by pine and citrus huge hop bitterness with a very slight trace of malt. Long, fruity, bitter hop finish. Light-Medium body and very smooth even with the moderate carbonation. This beer is for the hop lover. There is more complexity in the hop characteristics and olfactory sense than in the malt profile, which results in a surprisingly light yet complex experience. I can't imagine aging it and letting go any of the fresh hop character.
