Draft poured into Sierra Nevada pint glass. I didn’t realize that this was different than the bottle variety. Maybe a little lighter hop flavour but that could jsut be from the bar lines.

Draft @ Porterhouse, Covent Garden. A nice beer to drink by the pint. Golden / light fruit / dry finish.

Had this on tap and didn’t realize it was any different except a little flatter and with less hop aroma then the bottle version. Still a solid ale.

Cask@GBBF 2007. Golden beer with a very light fruity aroma and a lightly fruity dry flavour. Overall quite a nice dry malty beer.

Smells very citrusy. Pours a nice golden copper color. Tate is like grapefruit. Well balanced pale ale.

I usually rag on Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and other intensely hoppy pale ales because, for me, "intensely hoppy" isn’t exactly synonymous with "tasty." However, the draft version of SNPA was quite a bit tastier than the bottled although it doesn’t look all that different (amber/copper hue and white head). The usual citrus/floral/dish soap nose is still around, but I was pleasantly surprised how much caramel and cookie flavors I caught before the hops grabbed hold. SNPA is definitely one of the best drafts with such wide availability.

Great aroma and taste. I very much enjoyed this beer on draft with a seafood dinner. Great head and hoppy flavor and aroma.
