Can from Beer Merchants. It pours hazy bright golden - yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, bright, tropical, pineapple, peach cobbler, mango, melon and a hint of sherbet. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, some light bitterness, bitter - sweet character, tropical fruit punch, pineapple, melon, peach, pithy, zesty orangey citrus, floury bread, biscuit and touch of boozey warmth with a drying, green and warming finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice tropical vibes. Drinks easy also.

Lys gul tåkete med hvitt skum. Lukter blomster, grapefrukt og noe stenfrukt. Lett. Fruktig. Smaker laktose og sitrus og barnål. Middels lang.

12oz can. Maybe the best I have had in the sad Little Thing series. Thin, juicy, sweet. Just how the kids like it. Sugary instead of malty. Not bad, but not what I want from Sierra Nevada on any level.

Can. Pours a fairly bright and cloudy orange hue with a large white head. A big pulp citrus nose. Fresh, peaches, oranges, toast. Smooth, very flavorful. Damn good. Underrated. It's so smooth you might forget that it is 8%.
