Oct 6, 2008 Says 2008 on the bottle. Thin head. Crisp dark amber. Delicious hop aroma with a caramel malt backing. Woody hop flavour. Nice malt balance. A bit bitter and mouth drying but tasty.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber with a quickly receding one finger beige head. The persistent layer that’s left does leave decent lacing. Nose is light malt and floral hops. Taste is sweet citrus, apricot and toffee with a pink grapefruit finish. Medium, sticky mouth feel. This is a well-balanced IPA. Very good.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy orange amber with a medium white head. Aroma is pretty typical IPA: citrusy hops, a bit of sweetness. Flavor is hop-forward with citrus, grassy, and piney hops. A little biscuity pale malt backs it up. Another good IPA from Sierra Nevada, though not quite up to the standard set by Celebration.

Oct 5, 2008 i didn’t notice much of a difference between this and the regular ipa. It was a bit stronger and had a bit more bite. In the end I was happy to have had it

Oct 5, 2008 Pours slight cloudy copper with medium head that does not last. Aroma very full and pleasant although I cannot pinpoint. Palate very soft and smooth, makes for easy drinking. Taste is typical of sierra Nevada, very unique and flavorful. Balanced at start with a very hoppy finish that lingers. Love the hops in this one

Oct 3, 2008 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.

Oct 2, 2008 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.
