Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (Bottle)

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

I always have and always will love this beer. Probably the best widely available pale ale there is. Pours golden with a small white head. Floral in the nose, you can smell the hops with a bit of roasted malt. Very easy to drink but tasty, hops are pleasant and the finish is slightly bitter. Perfect mouthfeel for the beer. One of the beers that started this crazy obsession.

This is my go to beer! SNPA is always my friend. I love the hoppyness it brings me.

Pours a remarkably clear amber with a small and rapidly vanishing white head. Notes of burnt and toasty malts with very faint hops. Slightly malt, but otherwise almost empty, which is nice and makes it into an easy drinking beer, but I want a little more in there. Finish is gently hopped, but very laid back.

This beer is the gold standard for Pale Ale. The price is usually right and it is widely available. It pours a deep golden color with a hoppy, grassy, malty aroma. It bites from start to finish and leaves you with a clean, hopped palate. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Despite being perhaps the most omnipresent microbrew of all time, this is a suprisingly tasty beer.

This is a great beer. Nice amber color with grapefruit notes that follows with a complex mix of flavors. Finishes well without being too bitter.

Pours dark amber orange with a 2 finger white head that fades pretty slowly to a thick skim that leaves a decent amount of lacing for a pale ale. Aroma Is grainy, grassy, and sweet cereal malts. Hops are mostly pine, floral and and planty, a little citrus to be found but just enough to liven it up. Flavor is grainy cereal and caramel malts, then planty and pine hops, with a very mild bitterness and a lingering cereal malt. Body is medium/thin and carbonation is just right, tenacious but not violent. A nice APA but a little on the weak side compared to my favorites. Could definitely use a separation of categories here.

Nice orange/yellow pour. Pretty damn hoppy for a regular pale ale. Nose fresh cut grass fruity. Flavor citrus hops/pretty bitter. Nice sweet fruity malt character love it.
