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.

Have had it both draft and bottled, draft=3.2, bottled= 3.6. A hazy amber beer with a huge lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops giving it notes of grass and grapefruit on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet and again very hoppy wigh notes of grass, straw, grapefruit, and oranges, as well as light notes of spices and alcohol, leading to a dry and very bitter finish.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear amber, minimal head. Salty grapefruit aroma. Crisp and very dry, freshly hoppy with clean mouthfeel and slim body. Salty and hoppy with long bitter finish. Typical Sierr Nevada-style with it’s very clean flavour profile.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Fresh, citrusy nose. Medium body, lightly sweet malts and again lovely citrus and peach notes before the dry-as-a-bone finish with some bitterness. An IPA right up my alley. 171107

Bright golden-amber. Cascade aroma - wood - with earthy, slightly brownsugary malt. Straightforward woody hop notes, hints of breadcrust and caramel. Moderate bitterness. Competent, but, um, this is an anniversary beer. Where is vodka, where’s marinated herring? To me word celebration just doesn’t come to mind.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange. Semi lasting white head. Aroma is pine wood dry hops. Semi sweet flavour and dry pine wood hops flavour. Light sweet note intermixing this. Ends once again into a rather dry finish. Crisp and clean.
