Nice IPA from Sierra... it has the hop character I look for in an IPA. Nice hoppy citrus, pine hop flavor... personally, I would have liked a little less malt character. Excellent on tap, good in the bottle.

Dec 20, 2009 Hazy copper colour with a rocky off white head. Aroma is hoppy with notes of pineapple, passionfruit and nose tickleing citrus. Flavour is more maltforward with Sierras standard profile + allot of sweet and fruity hop notes. Ends on a balanced but bitter note. Mouthfeel is smooth and a bit sticky. From decent to good depending on freshness.

Dec 19, 2009 Amber/orange color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of hops, citrus, and floral; Flavor of bitter hops, citrus - notably grapefruit and some spice; Nicely balanced, and the bitterness is not overpowering which makes it more drinkable; Though I’m not a biggest fan of the style, I did enjoy this one.

Dec 19, 2009 350 ml bottle. Slightly hazy amber colour, medium-sized white head that leaves a little lacing. Lovely aroma of grapefruit & other citrus fruits and floral hops. Caramel-malty, dryish flavour with a strong and long, bitter finish of pine, citrus fruits and hops. Delicious.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle. Lovely pale amber color, with a nice white head. Nose is fresh with grape fruit and malts as the dominant features. Flavor is very nicely balanced. The fruity hops are certainly the dominating force, but they compliment the malty body in a splendid way. All in all a very nice brew (as is usually the case with this brewer).
