Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
I just tapped this at the home basement bar along with a Magic Hat Circus Boy. It's always good to have a lighter beer for the non-hop head beer drinkers who don't appreciate a mighty fine American IPA. A: The tap pour was a reddish copper color with a nice frothy head that clung to the side of the glass with ease. S: I'll first start off by saying they should make an air freshener that smells like this. A great hoppy pine aroma with mild citrus background. T: Just as great as the smell. Medium hoppy bite with piney-grapefruit flavors that roll of the tongue with a mild, dry bitterness at the end. An easy-drinking beer with tons of flavor. M: Smooth mouthfeel with just the right amount of carbonation. D: I agree that this is a highly anticipated winter seasonal. I get a 1/6th keg every year as soon as it becomes available. This could be a little dangerous though with the 6.8 % ABV and easy drinkability. I think it's much better on tap then from a bottle.
