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

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
