this is one of those beers that is good anytime. thank god it is everywhere. great citrusy taste, but i think the high rating is from how often it can save a bland restaurant/bar that otherwise sucks by not having a good selection.

Yellow to orange color with a citrus and floral bouquet. Small off-white head and on the carbonated side. Refreshing with a bitter finish. Perfect West Coast Session beer.

The Sierra flagship product. A great beer with strong hop presence in the nose and flavor. Color and head are amber and medium, respectively, and both are about average for the style. Crisp taste and finish. Pretty solid.

Bottle in a bar, Aroma is quite refreshing hops and bitterness, slightly citrus. Taste is similarly fresh, light and fruity wth a medium hop edge. Decent enough.

Floral aroma. Amber with medium head. Flavour is grapefruit with sourish note. Finishes bitter and sour. Medium body. Not to my taste.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear orange gold with white head. Not as aromatic as you’d expect, hops detectable. Good hoppy taste with bitter finish. This is an american classic.
