Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Chico, California, USA
Appearance: amber body with a fine white head
Aroma: decent hops on the nose, pine and citrus, touch of sweet grains. Not very strong and this can mislead you for the taste is big time.
Flavors: oh this baby is delicious, the hops hit me first with a burst of pine and grapefruit and there is a touch of this sweet herbal and/or grainy note – I just can’t put my finger on it. There is a floral note swirling around as well. Peppery finish. This is a nice hoppy IPA. Balanced No. It is on the hoppy side of the scale.
Mouthfeel: the hops seem to not only linger but expand on the aftertaste. The aftertaste gets fatter on the tongue. It like swells. There is a solid peppery finish.
My Strength Rating: 8.5 – solid pine and white grapefruit bitterness with a firm peppery finish.
To the Point: this is one tasty IPA
