Rich antique golden body, with expressive chiffon ‘do; zig-zag serpent lacing. Candied lemon peel, pineapple purée, orange pith, sweet tobacco touches, sapodilla custard nose. Peppercorns and cloves in grapefruit skin, brown sugar crystals on top of cut pink grapefruit, lemon pith, rye kernels, caraway, allspice, bitter pecan, honey on burnt toast. Nice beer in that is shouts beer grains while oozing citrus, and flexing some abv muscle!

Just translucent, reddish amber with a slightly off- white top evoking puffy clouds and sticky tendril lacing of carnivorous plants eventually arabesque. Light caramel malt smells overlay the lemon and pine, thyme and clementine-grapefruit. The extra touch of sweet malt rounds the citrus on the palate, and the grain shines briefly adumbrating the pine return. Pith of lime and grapefruit with a ginger sprinkle sustain the finish for a refreshing aftertaste with a ghost of basil. .

Must admit to an affinity for this seasonal! Such a fresh and clean nose of malt and pine-y hops, lemon, lime and orange peels, candied ginger, and coriander. Vibrant mouthfeel, accentuated by citrus action, cola, savory, coffee oil, buckwheat bring the bitter, and the whole never deviates from ‘beer’ balance because the fresh hop refuses to overwhelm. . #beer #biere #birra #bier #sierranevada #sierranevadabrewing #sierranevadacelebration #celebrationipa #ipa #freshhopipa #chicoca #2019beer #winterbeer — 5 years ago
