Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Poured a beautiful cloudy red copper with a thick, two finger foamy, chunky head that fades slowly to a thin coating across the whole goblet. Lacing sticks all the way down. Smell... ahhh... tart grapefruit and a sweet sweet background. This is the aroma of a perfect IPA. Taste mimics the smell for the most part. The sweetness hits first followed quickly by the grapefruit and then a slight spice with a piny tang that hangs around minutes after the last sip. Delicious! Mouthfeel is great. Perfect carbonation to meld the flavors together in your mouth and bring out the aroma. Not as oily as some IPAs can be. Drinkability is very good. I could probably drink this all night. Not light enough to drink a sixer in one sitting, but I could probably do 5. =) Cheers!
