hmm, a rare swing and miss from Sierra Nevada. Seemed OK at first, a very pale yellowish color, bright hop nose, plenty of citrus and lightly floral. Very dry and attenuated here, malts are almost not there at all, just a light breadiness, dry finish. What doesn't work then is the strong bittering hop presence, which is at the levels you might want for a less attenuated standard IPA. The bitterness overwhelms, and its citrus and floral elements shift to a soapiness that really isn't working at all. It feels ultimately like a flawed recipe.

A: Tall frothy head atop a clear hay yellow body. End of glass retention and thick patches of lace.
S: Very floral with hints of citrus, honeysuckle and bread dough.
T: Moderately bitter with pronounced lemon pulp and citrus pith. Light pine and woody notes at the end.
M: Light body, average carbonation and lightly resinous finish.
O: Simple but lovely! I'll be stocking up on this one while it's around.
