Mar 26, 2003 This is a wonderful beer. I had it on draft and the keg was two years old! It was delicious. We used CO2 to dispense the beer but the head was so tight and creamy it appeared to have been poured with a nitrogen / CO2 mixture. This really is a great effort by Sierra Nevada and it makes me feel better about the brewery since I think their flagship pale ale has been slipping in flavor in recent years.

Dec 15, 2003 Heavy shit baby. This beer packs tons of hop and malt flavor. I wish it was available year round but due to the way they make it this would be impossible.

Dec 17, 2004 This is an incredible wet-hopped ale. Nice and citric. Very nice body and color. A must have in autumn.

Oct 9, 2007 Pours copper w/ a full, thick froth. Superb hangtime reducing slowly to a full fluffy ring and island spatter. Aromas of fresh, bright, crispy hops. Nice! Full nectar w/ creamy residual effers. Abundant citrus rind tempered by a dense caramel malt component. Beautifully balanced this specimen is exceptional. The finish is long and thirsty. Overall: I really like the sharpness of the hops. The balance is supreme. Highly recommended.

Feb 8, 2009 My favorite beer ever. This is all I drink in Texas in the fall. So sad to see it disappear from the shelves when the season is over.

Apr 27, 2008 Beautiful, rich, sweet flavor. The hops are not overpowering. This might be the best beer of all time.

Jan 29, 2008 Bottle ad a massive huge thanks go out to miketd. Im soo lost for words here, i was verging on another 5 with this, i had to comepletly rerate it 3 times to make sre i wasnt twister and all 3 rating are very different, however all come to the same mind blowing conculsion that this is one of the finest bers in the world. Rich hop resins the the aroma, peppery lychee, citrus, pink grapefruit. Taste is rich malts, perfectly balanced with the hops. Id take a wild guess and say this is infact the exact same beer as the celebration however with fresher hops. I just love this, its amazing its soo drinkable and soo morish id really be a happy man if i could just have some of this every week even just a glass and no other beer. Outstanding and world class.

Jan 8, 2004 This was outstanding. I had this at the Blind Tiger Ale House in NYC and it was great. The aroma is of fresh hops, and the taste is dominated by a nice flowery hop profile. The finish is wonderful as is this beer. Simply magnificant.
