Tap. Clear amber color, no head. Aroma of hop, some malt. Decent bitterness in taste. Pretty good.

Porter House London. Was dissappointed with this. Not as hoppy and grassy as i have tasted before. Lacks fresh cirtusey bittering hops which i enjoy most about a good IPA.

Pours a bit darker than expected, looks wonderful. Smells hoppy with hints of citrus fruit. Taste is malty, very citrusy, crisp, incredibly easy to drink. This gets me excited for Sierra Nevada’s IPA. Really complete, excellent tasting beer that’s unbelievably easy to drink. A-level beer. Didn’t notice too much of a difference from the bottle, to be honest.

A golden copper with a dense white head and a lot of carbonation. Aroma is of cascades and pale malt. Taste is dry malt with little bitterness. Medium body. An easy drinking session beer, but like a lot of Sierra’s offerings, it’s not very complex.

A very citrusy beer that is golden yellow. I really enjoyed it and was easy to drink. Didn’t really sense any overly dryness in it like many complain about. Definitely a good pale ale.

Tap at the rake. Aroma is noteably SN citrus character, but muted slightly by a dusty character. Pale malts and grassy, citrus is again there but lacking somewhat. Im wondering if it was just a bit old? Not as hot as the bottle i thought.

I did not find this beer being anything special. It was too sweet with some strange flavors in it. This falls into those American ice cream parlor brews. We ordered a piture and regretted it. I was with a friend from Holland and he said the same. I really cant understand its high rating at all.

Draught at EBF 2008. Golden yellow with a beige head. Aroma moderate malty (caramel) and hoppy (citrus). Flavor moderate sweet, moderate/heavy bitter. Light/medium body.
