(Bottle at Olutkellari Helsinki on 2009-03-13) Amber and hazy. Dense white head. Strong grassy hops aroma with some sweetness and malts. Full bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Lot of hops, grass, some malts, bitterness and sweetness in taste. Malty and bitter aftertaste.

really a nice hoppy experience...fun beer..bottle winter 2008..amber with white head.. nice throughout!

Incredibly hoppy. The taste lingers much longer than it should. Hops on both the nose and taste.

Bottle, 2008 version. Pours an almost hazy tawny amber with a sizeable white head. Roasted malt, toast, subtle citrus hops. Medium body, slight malty sweetness. Spicy hop finish with good grapefruit notes.

Bottle. Pours an amber color with a two finger white head. Smells kind of citrus. Tastes of hops and bitter. A good IPA for the season.

Another good buy from Sierra Nevada. Crisp, full of flavor. Great for having with a few buddies who aren’t into craft.

2008 bottle thanks to Sparky. Great hops and bitterness in this one. I did however like the maltyness of it too. This is the first celebration I’ve had and it was not a let down. Can’t wait till 09’s come out
