Nov 14, 2009 Wow! eccezionale ale americana con splendido aroma di luppoli freschi, brassata per l’anniversario del birrificio. 2009, comprata al Beer8, bevuta mentre guardavo un documentario su Transformer di Lou Reed.

Nov 14, 2009 A: Poured with an average-sized, white head that diminished to 1/4-finger. Body is a dark copper color, and hazy.
S: Pleasant aroma of average-to-heavy hops, with herbs and lemon/lime coming through.
T: The hops are present throughout, but there is some citrus in the taste as well. Moderately bitter finish that hangs around for awhile.
M: Body is light/medium-bodied, with a creamy texture and average carbonation.
D: As usual, a very good entry from Sierra Nevada. Solid across the board. Yet another brewing company I wish I had normal access to. Sigh.

Nov 12, 2009 This is like an intense version of the regular sierra pale. More malt, more hops, and more flavor. The aroma is quite complimentary as well. The flavors are quite piney, with nice orange zest also noticeable. Quite enjoyable.

Nov 11, 2009 Very nice dark golden/light amber color liquid. Beautiful four-finger head that lingers for awhile. Great retention and excellent lacing.
Nice big citrusy hop nose. Grapefruit scent dominates. Bready yeastiness. Light pine notes.
Bitter hop bite is front and center here. Citrus notes. Very slight malty undertone. Very light sweet biscuit flavor. Mostly hops dominating the flavor profile.
Very nice mouthfeel. Crisp, yet good body. Not overly thick, just nice and solid. Good carbonation level.
With each additional sip the balance becomes better. The hops tend to relax a little bit, and not be quite so dominant.
Overall, a great session beer with high drinkability.

Nov 11, 2009 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear orange color with lots of bubbles and a thick, white foamy head. Heads is everlasting and foamy thickness. Nose is a combo of floral and piney hops, very earthy and woodsy with a light caramel malt note in the end. Palate is smooth and crisp, quite refreshing. Flavors of woodsy, piney hops, sweet caramel malt notes, a dry finish and a swallow that sends the woods back through your palate.

Nov 10, 2009 Hazy orange pour with an off-white head. Citrus and hoppy aroma with a hint of caramel. Bitter flavor, typical of the IPA. Thick mouthfeel. Also tastes of citrus and caramel. A pretty good IPA.
