Commercial Description:
The 2007 Anniversary Ale features prominent usage of Cascade hops– the signature hop used in Sierra Nevada’s most popular product, Pale Ale. It is an American Style IPA with a big, fragrant pine and citrus hop aroma balanced by the sweetness of two-row pale and caramel malt. It finishes with an additional Cascade dry-hopping creating a big hop aroma Sierra Nevada fans will look forward to.

This is a really nice IPA, that I am diggin. One word that comes to mind (because I read it in the last review) is piney. Another word is delicious hop fiesta in my mouth. Very good IPA, which I will drink.

Nice aroma of earthy and piney hops. The appearance is an attractive amber color, lots of white foam, typical for this style. The flavor is very hoppy, a split between pine and citrus, with malty sweetness, mainly caramel. Very nice balance between them. The palate has a refreshing burn of citrusy hops. Very nice beer overall.

12oz. bottle on 9/29/08. Overall impression: Wow! Then the palate seemed to change to a carnonated grapefruit beverage. A bit grassy finish. However, the use of cascade hops is signiture with this brewery. I love my hops, but this was slightly too much.

12oz - Pungent pine and citrus hops and a doughy caramel malt. Pours cloudy orange-brown with a small head Flavor is very well balanced with the hops up front followed by the smooth creamy caramel malt. Palate is tart then creamy and smooth. Very Nice.

Excellent IPA. Very nice balance to it with the sweet malts and the hoppy hops. The bitterness is all citrus to me, well maybe 3/4-1/4 split citrus-pine, which is nice. It really tastes like SNPA if they partially froze it and took 20% of the water out. It’s pretty much just SNPA in SNiPA form, so if you like SNPA, you’ll love this. It fits nicely between Celebration and SNPA.

Amber pour with a big, rocky, white head. Grapefruit aroma with notes of honeysuckle, juniper, bread and caramel. Dry, floral taste with pine and slight alcohol. Aqueous medium body with soft carbonation.
