Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA


When I first picked this up, I didn't read the description and thought it was a winter warmer. Nope. American IPA.

Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA

Poured into a snifter from a 12 oz bottle. Pretty large creamy/frothy head with excellent lacing. Poured a beautiful amber copper that is a bit hazy.

Piney hops and very mild citrus. I could smell the malt but couldn't quite make it out. As it warmed up a little got a little bit of caramel.

It went down very smooth. Very drinkable beer. This is an IPA I would recommend to non-IPA drinkers. Had a medium body and average carbonation. Moderate bitter finish.

A very good IPA. Not my favorite, but if I heard that it was available somewhere, I would buy it.
