Floral, fruity. Worthless.

Can. Just unclear amber with a good inch of white head. Mainly citrus aroma - kumquat - with some grass and breadcrust. Wouldn't have guessed Kiwi hops. So it tastes - bittersweet with maybe not quite enough body to carry the hops.

Pours lightly hazy gold with a lingering white head with good lacing. Hoppy, tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is well hopped with nice tropical fruit notes. Medium body. Hoppy finish. Very good.

Standard golden amber, decent foaming head. Nose is also your standard tropical fruit hop profile, although to my nose these things often smell of dirty socks and feet, but hey. The flavor is similar but more resinous, with a lingering citrus and hint of papaya in the aftertaste. Medium bitterness.

Solid IPA. Super sharp riwaka grapefruit peel. Golden pour with great pillow of head. Bitter ass finish. Wonderful package. This is why I love Sierra Nevada. Rap at Churchkey.

Aroma has notes of onion, B.O., orange peel. Taste has a moderate to high pithy bitterness backed by a candy sweetness. Not one of Sierra Nevada’s best.

Golden with a large foamy white head. Sweet, tangy and lightly bitter with fruity, citric, perfumey, herbal and tropical hops. Medium finish and body.

Packaged December 15th, bought locally at 2nd Street Liquor.

Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a finger of foam that lasts and leaves lots of lacing.

Smell is tropical fruit, juicy hops, pine, some grass.

Taste is tropical fruit, juicy, pine, not all that dank, which I like. Some toasted malt in the background.

Pretty good SN IPA, with a healthy dose of mango and papaya and peach mixed with a strong mineral bitterness. Leans a bit sweet, but refrains from growing cloy, and the clingy bitter finish helps. Not bad.

Pours slightly hazed deep gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spotty spiders. Tangerine and passion fruit aromas. Dry with sweet mango custard, passionfruit and pine upfront turning to tangerine peel and pith in the dry, medium length finish.
