Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.


A fresh hop beer. It smells and tastes like the hops are pretty green still, haven't been concentrated, not a lot of resin, not a lot of floral either. Head is a creamy cap. A bit more amber and malty than I'm used to in an IPA but presumably adjusted for the winter warmer season. BA registers it at 6.8%ABV but it goes down like a session beer, though a bit heavy for that. Definitely a likable, sociable beer but isn't the life of a party.
