Aug 10, 2008 Deep golden color, piney and hoppy flavors are predominant, but this is not a real hophead beer. Sort of a disappointment for an "anniversary" ale, which makes me think of something more special than this fairly pedestrian beer that’s really a lot like SNPA.

Aug 9, 2008 The situation: I have been working 20 of the last 48 hours.. so I come home and take a nap. I literally woke up, came down for dinner, and Pops literally throws this stuff in my face! Well it sure woke me up! This beer has HUGE hop aroma, with notes of pine and burnt sugar. Upon sipping, the hops are obvious, with a slight citrusy finish. This beer is awesome. Cheers!

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle, this beer is incredible. Sierra Nevada hit it right on the head with this one. Hoppy but not overly so, this beer is so easy to drink. Would buy again

Aug 7, 2008 12oz bottle: pours dark golden brown with long lasting off white head, aroma malty with a hint of hops, flavor kind of weak not as much hops as I was looking for and a little watery on the malt side but not bad. Decent beer with a beautiful pour.

Aug 7, 2008 Draft @ Winking Lizard: This pours a bright orange with a thick white head, no surprises here. The surprise, though, was how incredibly smooth this was compared to what I was expecting. Aroma is major citrus hop with underlying pine. A tinge of astringency creeps into the nose as this beer warms, but it is not distracting. Mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth and dry. The beer is noticeably more bitter than its SN Pale Ale cousin, but is balanced so nicely with toasty malts that it doesn’t sting the palate. Lingering bitterness picks up on the tongue after a few seconds. Definitely a go-to beer for August!!

Aug 6, 2008 Had on tap at the Winking Lizard. Dark golden pour, creamy white head. Aroma of pine and grapefruit. Flavor was a bit sweet up front, citrus, and hoppy and bitter on the end. NOt a fan of IPA’s, but this one was fairly drinkable. Not outstanding.
