Oct 23, 2009 24oz. bottle. Pours a nice deep cloudy orange color with a nice head. The Brussels lace are very nice. This is a very drinkable beer; it’s got plenty of hop bitterness, but not overbearing. I’m glad Sierra Nevada hasn’t gone the route of the imperial this, extreme that. They just put out good, solid beers and this is one of them. Well done!

Freaking awesome. Juicy hops abound! The hops feel like they’re squeezing their juices right into your mouth! Gahh! I loved this beer, had four pints of it back to back and only loved it more and more until my girlfriend pulled me away from the bar. Crisply bitter but sticky at the same time. That’s odd but the only way I can describe this one. Awesome beer.

Oct 19, 2009 RB Rating #300. 24oz "2nd Release" Bottle. Pours cloudy, juicy orange with negligible head. Initial nose is certainly nothing strong, but some fresh pine hops are there. Taste is crips, dry, earthy hops with some pine notes and a slight malt backing that balances well. Let it sit for a while and a wonderful fresh, pine, and slightly citrus hop taste will poke it’s nose out. Very well done IPA. Would very much like to see S.N. attempt a good DIPA.
