Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale is a big American IPA; bold, assertive and full of flavor and aromas highlighting the complex citrus, pine and herbal character of whole-cone American hops. Our obsession with harnessing huge hop flavor led to the development of what we call the hop torpedo, a revolutionary method of dry-hopping designed, built, and debuted here at the brewery. Our torpedo is a sleek, stainless-steel piece of hardware that delivers more pure hop aroma than any method of dry-hopping we’ve ever seen.

Can. Almost clear dark orange with a big fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, resin and pine. Taste of malts, pine, resin, honey, caramel, oranges and grapefruits. Long lasting herbal bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Very balanced and well crafted like (almost) anything I‘ve had so far from Sierra Nevada. Satisfying. But next time I‘ll make an effort to get my hands on a fresher sample.

Tolle Farbe. Eine Aromabombe. Viel malzige Süsse, der Hopfen klebrig und piney und doch fruchtig, die Bitterkeit fast erschlagend.

For my 5000th check-in, going back to one of the OGs that got me started on this crazy journey. Sierra Nevada, classic West Coast hip profile, bitter pine resin, some sticky bud sweetness, a classic and one I’ve never checked in before

Sløret gylden med offwhite skum. Aroma malt humle sitrus. Smak malt karamell humle søte frukter. Middels fyldig og lett bitter, men for søt. Flaske kjøpt på Vinmonopolet Jekta

Appearance is amber, clear, a half-finger beige head. Aroma is caramel malt, hops, fruitcake, bit of orange. Taste is bitter hops, malty, fluffy smooth malt, orange peel, more hop bitterness comes in, boozy fruit at the end.
