Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (Bottle)

Brewed by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Chico, California USA

bottle - hazy golden beer with a white head. Nice citrus hops aroma. Flavour has some peach and a nice bitterness. Refreshing.

Bottle. Hazy golden body with a creamy longlasting white head. Fruity aroam with some malt and light cascade hoppy notes. Flavour is medium hoppy with some fruit and caramel. Grassy bitter finish. Medium bodied.

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.

Bottle. Awesome for something I can get all the time. Very citrusy and evergreen hops. nice and clean and crisp.

Tasted from bottle @ VBPF on 25.04.09. Hazy orange-amber color, off-white head. Aroma hops, malts, some fruits. Medium body. Taste little sweet malts, fruits, nice hopsbitterness.

Bottle - Wow...expected a lot more out of this beer. Recently had the Great Lakes pale and that blew this away. Pours a light amber with a very small white head. The smell is nice -- light citrus hops, clean and crisp. Taste is pretty meh, with sweet, almost sugary grain and dry hops on the initial taste. I swear someone dropped a ground-up Smarties candy in this bottle. The dry finishing hops just aren’t my style, and linger for a while on the back of the tongue. It’s pretty light bodied with some sharp carbonation -- not the most refreshing beer for a style that should be.

Great looking, smelling, and tasting beer. I’d probably have to say this is one of the best American Pale Ales that I’ve had.
