12 Oz bottle. Pours a nice golden amber with a nice foamy head. Aroma is citrusy hops with some sweet malt. Flavor is grapefruit, spicy hops with a long dry pleasant finish. Just great, everywhere available Pale Ale.

Bottle - Pours a nice golden amber with a medium high head. Nose is Citrus and hops. Flavor is fantastic, everything I could want in an APA, nice medium citrus flavor with a hoppy finish. Citrus aftertaste that lingers very nicely. One thing that I love about Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is level of carbonation. This is an A+ APA

Overrated. Weak head, weak lacing. Goes flat after a few days. The hops are there, but the flavor leaves much to be desired.
