Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
A: slightly cloudy, typically amber, pours 1-finger head and sustains .5 finger head with some froth managing to cling along the way S: floral hop aroma, with elements of sweet malt at the end T: opens with slight hops, elements of sweet malt and finishes with a lasting yet subtle bitterness - well balanced M: feels rich, froths easily when swirled in mouth This is a great APA - coming from Australia I was afraid the journey over, storage and not being a macro-mover might make this over-rated experience but it held well and tastes and smells great. Common becnhmark here in Oz is Little Creatures Pale Ale and this easily meets, if not slightly exceeds that benchmark. Cost at $20 is a little more than your usual six-pack is one small factor detracting from it's appeal.
