Nice hazy orange color with a thick, frothy, off-white head that leaves mountains of lacing behind.

Nose is very spicy from the hops. I can tell that I'm in for a treat.

What a flavor! Hops are assertive from the get-go without being overpowering and swim around the tongue with citrusy lemon and grapefruit notes. Taste is spicy overall and I can detect hints of cinnamon and ginger. Finishes dry and the alcohol offers a warming sensation that is perfect for this time of year.

A medium bodied brew with lots of tingly bubbles.

Sierra Nevada never fails to impress me. This is another example of a finely crafted beer and a great offering. I just wish it was offered year round.
