Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Pours a solid orange with a white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of bready, biscuit, cracker malt and pine hop character. Taste is up front cracker malt with some pine hop that fades into some grapefruit character and ends on a bitter and sweet kick with a lasting malt/hop finish...hard to describe but that's what makes this beer so great. Lighter to medium body with medium carbonation work well for the style. The alcohol is well hidden. A great IPA that mixes pine hop and bready, cracker malt perfectly. There is a unique quality to this beer that doesn't quite sink in until halfway through the beer....I look forward to this every year of course.
