On a scale of 1 to 10 this gets a 15! The Hops are wonderful, setting off both sides of my tongue, leaving a highway right up the middle to pour the golden nectar down! This is hands down my favorite, WHEN I can get it!

By far one of the best beers I’ve drank. As a noted hop-lover, this beer will satisfy on so many levels. Very fruity fragrance, you’d think it was a fruit beer, but I hate fruit beer and this is no fruit beer. It’s just the awesome fragrance of the best hops...hands down. If you can get your hands on this one...IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. The flavor just has you anticipating drinking another one...after one...after one.

Pours a light straw gold with a chunky white head. Aroma is super crisp, herbal and hoppy. Flavor is wonderful, loaded with hops, citrusy, piney, sweet, sticky. This reminds me of 90min IPA back when it came in 750’s. Absolutely outstanding!

Nirvana for hop heads! A great hoppy beer! I would serve this to friends anytime. If you like Seierra Nevada Celebration, you’ll love this beer.

This is a fairly nice brew! Huge aroma of oranges and pineapple. Medium golden in color with a nice white head and lots of lacing. More pine and grass in the flavor adds to the citric. Balanced by some sour malt with a heavy backbone. Some carboination on the tongue andlasting bitterness. I like it!
