Bottle and served in my SN pint glass: Beautiful coppery hue topped by a large frothy head which left very good lacework upon the glass. The aroma has notes of grassy and resiny hops, light pineapple citric esters, biscuity malts, and a touch of dusty vapours. The taste is mild but pungent hop bitterness balance with pale and crystal maltings. The finish displays a fair amount of hop spice and some metallic notes. The mouth feel is lively enough but does suffer from overly metallic finish. A solid IPA but nothing more, a tad one-note.

Nov 28, 2009 Wonderful appearance, but not much in the aroma unfortunately. This is a good beer. Certainly hoppy up front, a bit of fruitiness in the middle. The only real complaint on this beer is that it’s overpriced compared to their other beers, which are almost as excellent but much more affordable.

Nov 28, 2009 Bomber from Canals in Pennsauken, NJ. Clear bright copper under a medium dusky beige head with fairly heavy lacing. Straighforward West Coast hop bomb aromas if fresh pine and ruby red grapefruit. Plenty of citrus with compliments of milk chocolate, vanilla and a touch of white pepper strapped atop a rich caramel malt backbone. Silky texture and mostly dry bitter finish. An assertive and well balanced IPA.

Nov 22, 2009 This is one of the smoothest IPA’s. Very drinkable and has a very nice mouth feel to it. Only thing I didnt like was the price.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle - pours a hazy orange with a decent white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, hops and floral. Nice bitter flavor with plenty of grapefruit, hops and flowers. This a very tasty IPA that won’t disappoint. Really enjoyed this Estate brew by SN.

Nov 21, 2009 Fresh piney citrus hopping in aroma,as would be expected in any S.N. Hop brew, flavor is unusual, the hoppiness does come through, but the malting has almost more of a grain taste then a caramel,that coupled with the slightly thinner body,leaves me with the impression that I’m drinking a czech pilsner with American Hops.Different ,rewarding satisfying, pricey to be sure even though we heard they are still losing money at that price

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a clear copper amber with a medium frothy off white head that lasts while leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong pine and floral hops. Thin mouthfeel wtih a smooth pine hop flavor with floral and grapefruit. Easy to drink hiding the alcohol well with a nice dry finish. A very good IPA from Sierra Nevada.
