SIERRA NEVADA CELEBRATION ALE
12 FL. OZ., ALC. 6.8% BY VOL.
BBB Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico, CA
++
FROM THE LABEL: "Celebration Ale is a special ale for the holidays. Featuring the first hops of the growing season. This pioneering IPA is full of complex flavors and aromas from the generous use of wholesome American hops. Fresh hop ale. Pure ingredients. Finest quality."
FROM THE MOUTH: AMERICAN IPA: Beautiful amber pour with a nice finger foam that hung around. Aroma of toffee/pine with some sweet citrus. The beer itself is smooth and well balanced. Sierra Nevada does a nice job blending a hop bitterness to the citrus malt sweetness. I think it was grapefruit I was tasting. Very pleasing and will keep this around. Love the label, makes me almost like winter. A+
FROM THE STORE: I think this has been around since last year (2011). It got pushed back in the fridge and when I saw it this summer I waited till our first snow! 2 inches today.
