May 16, 2009 Pours golden with a slight beige head.
I’m surprised I don’t smell more of the hops in the aroma, but there is a good hoppy bitter flavor.

May 16, 2009 This is the first year-round release from Sierra Nevada and wow they got it right here. Ranks right up there with the best IPAs.

Fruity hops in both aroma and taste. Sticky palate. Standard American style IPA, competent, but mind-numbingly uninteresting after the first hoppy sip.

May 15, 2009 Updated: Jul 12, 2009Pours a clear copper with a soapy, slightly off-white head that lasts and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is fresh, piney, grassy, citric hops. Flavor is similar, and as it says on the bottle, perfectly balanced. Bitterness lingers a little, leaving me wanting more. Mouthfeel is nice and dense, and a little bit sticky. This is a really well made IPA. My new favorite

May 15, 2009 bottle... pours a clear amber/gold with a nice head that retains throughout the sitting. Great citrus/ hop aroma. Palate is not too over carbonated and not too harsh. nice bitter finish.

May 15, 2009 (Bottled) Clear amber with a medium, lacy head. Slightly stingy, flowery-nutty-hoppy aroma with grainy-gluey notes. Flavor is better with reasonably fresh, aromatic hops, and some bitterness in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Slightly harsh, but not bad.

May 15, 2009 Bottled (HBF2009, BB 02/2010).
Clear amber color, good beige head, Fresh hoppy (pine, grapefruit) aroma. Medium-bodied. Piney-grassy hoppy flavor, sweet malts. For now I think quite similar to some other SN products.
