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.

Amber with a frothy to creamy head that lingers. The aroma is more floral than fruity with a bit of herbal tea and caramel in the mix. Taste is bitter most of the way through with a light candy sweetness up front. Medium body with a creamy feel. Good.

Zuletzt getrunken am 22.4 2026 und gefunden bei einem BillaPlus in Wien. Und ich muss meine alte Bewertung revidieren: Das Bier ist zwar voll aromatisch nach grasigen Hopfen🪴, dabei aber so bitter und trocken🫥, dass ich es nicht austrinken konnte.
Alte Bewertung vom Frühling 2019:
Gefunden im gut sortierten Kühlregal beim Getränkehändler des Vertrauens. Es ist ein schöner Regenbogen an blumigen Aromen mit einem herzhaft-herben Abgang. Ein angenehm frisches Bier nicht nur für heiße Tage.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een troebel oranje bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een fruitige en hoppige geur. De smaak is hoppig, harsig en wat grapefruit achtig.

Pours dark amber with a thick head. Sweet aroma of pine and hops. Tastes like malt, citrus and herbal influences. Palate is similar, heavy pine influences and herbal hops. Intense mouthfeel, good beer.

De color madera con destellos naranjas. Espuma blanca y muy compacta que aguanta perfectamente. Muy bonita a la vista. Carbonatacion media y buen cuerpo. Aroma potente donde destaca el lupulo con notas herbales, a pino y críticas. En boca es una bomba, al principio se nota la malta, dando paso al lupulo, que deja un amargor muy rico con un sabor en la línea del aroma. Cervezon.

Copper color with thick foam and lacing. Intense pine resin hops and slightly sweet malt aroma. Flavor has just a hint of sweet malt followed by a strong, intense, lingering spicy bitter resin taste. Bitter aftertaste that lasts forever.

All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di luppolo. L'olfatto viene sollecitato in maniera elevata e la costanza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il manto birroso è di persistenza breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. La carbonazione è bassa. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, erba, agrumi e mandarino.
