Sep 18, 2008 Thick draught like head even though it came out of a bottle. Leaves lacing. Amber color. Flowery and hoppy aroma. Sweet flowery hops in the taste. Pretty nice mouthfeel. Not too bitter. Some citrus taste in there as well.

Sep 16, 2008 12oz, 2008 vintage. Pours a rich golden color, fairly clear with a white head. Nose is a fresh salad with grapefruit and prosciutto... mmmm... body follows, dropping some of the salinity from the nose. This is a cascade showcase, bowls upon bowls of grapefruit. Not very complex, but taking on a sweeter side of IPA. Decent carbonation but not over the top. I am continually impressed by Sierra’s seasonals.

Sep 16, 2008 Too heavy for my taste. I like Sierra Nevada pale ale but the Anniversary Ale is a bit much.
I have 11 left in my fridge in the garage. I’m going to have to pawn the rest off on unsuspecting guests. I have two brothers in law who will drink anything.

Sep 15, 2008 Nice malty flavor. It’s an IPA but it’s got a great balance. Citrus and lots of hops on the palate. Not quite sure how this one looks in the glass -;-; had it in a bottle purchased from a deli on a corner.

Sep 14, 2008 A nice off white head. Nice copperbrown colour. Hints of citrus in the taste. Typical IPA hoppiness. Tasted at Pikkulintu.

Sep 13, 2008 Updated: Dec 27, 2009moderate in body, typical amber color in body with a nice hint of hops to the aroma, smooth taste to it, goes down well with no biting after taste and has a great citrus taste to it

Sep 12, 2008 Aroma is more piney than citrus/floral. Flavor is piney, bitter citrus bite. Caramel malts come through a bit. Light bodied. It doesnt speak summer to me, that would be Two Hearted. This beer speaks more of fall. This is a good IPA indeed. Sierra Nevada did well.

Sep 11, 2008 Another tasty brew from SN. Smooth and dry with a lovely bitter finish. Amber with a thick head. Sampled at an A’s game in Oakland.
