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.

Pours a golden color with a slight creamy white head. Piney aroma with half malt and half hop bite mid swallow. Malty finish with a lot of similarity to Sierra Pale.

amber in color with a medium large off white head. Citrus and pine in the aroma- clean cascade and light malt. Taste is moderately hoppy with grapefruit and light pine, with a light to medium body and a semi-assertive hop bittering finish. This was clean, and decent- easy drinking accessible IPA which seemed like their pale ale, just with alittle more malt and hops thrown into the picture.

2008, Nice brew~ Nice amber pour, decent head, a lighter flavor for an IPA, just great, nothing hitting you over the head, hops are there, but its very easy drinking because of the malt, very clean finish, nice.

Pours an amber gold colour with a thick foamy off white head. Aroma is citrus-herbal hop. Flavour medium caramel malt with a strong herbal hop character. A little metallic bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Poured a clear golden-amber color with a thick, dense off-white head that slowly faded and left spotty lacing as she did. Lightly piney, leafy, floral hops with some undertones of orange and sweet grapefruit, along with a soft hint of caramel. Smooth, lightly bitter and spicy entry with a light leafy character leads into a lightly bitter hop hit with some light earthy notes and some soft grapefruit on the finish. Smooth on the palate, but seems a bit thin. Definitely solid, but seems to be missing a bit of bitterness on the finish and seems a touch thin.

~Pours beautifully in a tulip glass. Hazy amber color with big fluffy white head. Hardly any lacing to speak of. ~Clean citrus hop scent with nice sweet malts and berry ~Nice balance in flavor of sweet malts and spicy bitter hops. ~Medium body, clean bitter finish. ~Very good after a spicy burrito. Nice enjoyable IPA.

Bottle from Foo Rion. Pours a nice caramel with decent head. Very strong aroma of floral hops. Fairly bitter and like the regular Sierra Nevada but a little different in flavor. Not bad, not my favorite.
