good pale ale, although it does have a note of travelled-ness coming all the way down here. good strong maltyness, the body is just on the edge of becomming cloying but it pulls it off. nice zesty hoppyness and well balanced bitterness.

Dec 14, 2009 I love Sierra, had it specifically at my wedding only with the mighty Pilsner Urquell, but this beer, 10 years later is my new pale ale. The malt balance with the subtle hops works for me, is it my age, maybe, but I love this beer, it’s better than the always picked up flagship Porter, this is one of the better beers they make.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark amber with creamy beige head. A pleasant aroma of biscuit malt, tropical fruits and hops. Tastes great, and the Cascade hops sure do their thing - this is one very sessionable ale. Good hop bitterness with a fruity finish. Awesome APA.

Dec 7, 2009 On tap at Blue Palms I believe, a few weeks back. Color was a dark amber with an off whitish head. Aroma of NW hops; fruity and earthy, with a small dash of spice. Flavor was pretty dry; earthy and a bit fruitier. Reminds me of my trip up there.

Dec 5, 2009 Pine & soap aroma almost like Irish Spring with some floral notes added. Hazy orange amber color. Flavor consists of nuts with a piney hops aftertaste. Overall this is a pretty good brew... Nice balance of malt and hops, very enjoyable to drink.

Dec 1, 2009 All time classic, and very likely the beer that launched me deep into beer love. Deep amber, tight head, fresh hoppyness and some balancing, rich malts. All about crisp pine flavor and good weight. Absolutely tastes like the northwest, a formative beer.

Nov 22, 2009 This ber pours a fine copper color with a thick and rather pillowy head. The head diminishes fairly quickly, but leaves a nice layer of attractive lacing. The aroma is rich with smells of floral and caramel. The flavor is hoppy, of course. But surprisingly, this has a fantastic quality that puts forth copious amounts of cereal grains. The grains are traceable all through the finish as they battle with the hops. It’s a very solid sessionable beer.

Nov 7, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Colour... amber-orange. Nose... moderately hoppy and floral. Palate... generous C02, lightly piney hops with some citrus notes, gently floral, a consistently good, basic pale ale.
