Cloudy reddish-amber pops cappuccino foam fleecily. Slippery lacing coats and rends to mustachios. Cracked pepper nose shows rye bread, malty bits and plantain. Pepper and rye conspire for dominance on the palate, aggressive posturing that leads to diplomacy amidst cigars. Notes of roasted pecan and burnt sugar. Cinnamon bark, clove and allspice all spectate, but rarely enter the fray. Lemon pepper emerges victorious.

Must admit to an affinity for this seasonal! Such a fresh and clean nose of malt and pine-y hops, lemon, lime and orange peels, candied ginger, and coriander. Vibrant mouthfeel, accentuated by citrus action, cola, savory, coffee oil, buckwheat bring the bitter, and the whole never deviates from ‘beer’ balance because the fresh hop refuses to overwhelm. . #beer #biere #birra #bier #sierranevada #sierranevadabrewing #sierranevadacelebration #celebrationipa #ipa #freshhopipa #chicoca #2019beer #winterbeer — 4 years ago

Rich orange blossom honey aromas tinged with ruby grapefruit marmalade. All that on toast soaked in olive oil. Pretty good start! Johnny Cash's spaghetti western breakfast. Bubble bath head, hoppy minerally, lemon zesty with a slight butterscotch and a warm wooden afterglow that finishes dry. My baby smells cat pee on the nose. Like being hunted by a big golden Mountain Lion. Everyone benefits from a balanced breakfast!! #SierraNevada #HopHunter #IPA — 9 years ago

Fast-moving fizz-fuzz that drops like a curtain to reveal a Dubuffet-esque remnant. Caramel and ginger, maple wood, golden raisin, cinnamon bread and baked pear nose. Raspy cedar, pointed nettle, pecan shell and walnut. Toasted wheat germ, orange bitters. The aforementioned slow-cooked into a potent amalgam. Winter wood trolls with tropical bounties stuffed into squirrel holes. Go nuts! #sierranevada #ipa #freshhops #celebrationipa — 8 years ago
