Sep 5, 2009 Pours a nice amber orange. Aroma is kind of tame, some sweet hops but not that strong. Hmm. I’m a big fan of all things Sierra Nevada IPA, but this is probably the weakest of their entries. very mild taste that ends with an almost out of place back-of-the-throat bitterness, but nothing is very overwhelming about it. The regular IPA is better, and if you want a better special SN IPA, get Torpedo

Sep 5, 2009 Nose is suprisingly subtle citrus hops and caramel. Flavor is piney hops front and back, nice mellow malt backbone through the middle. A little harsh on the finish. Nothing about the beer stands out as terribly special, but a good, drinkable american IPA.

Sep 4, 2009 Draft pint from Dewey’s in Clifton. Pours slightly hazy amber with a medium off-white head that leaves nice lacing behind. Lively hop aroma, also notes of citrus and nuts. Hops take charge of the flavor, too, without much else to speak of- perhaps a bit of citrus and malt. Bitter all the way through, smooth and crisp.

Sep 4, 2009 A really caustic, dry bitterness, this is not very balanced. The color is nice, tho, and the aroma good too. Just wish it was more of a clever taste, not so brash.

Sep 3, 2009 This reminds me of anchor liberty. The slickly citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon end on a high dry note and the aftertaste just as a soothing bitter cascade essence. The nose was cascadey and sharp..there was a touch more malt character here compared to liberty ale, but I dig it...just not as much.
