look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.

A - Caramel in color. A 2-inch head which lingers for awhile. Thick lacing down the sides as you drink this beer.

S - Hops very prevalent, also smells slightly of booze. Get a light whiff of malts as well.

T - Very notable hops up front. A little bit of spice and malt in the middle and some slight booziness towards the end. The taste is much bolder than the smell, but that's a good thing.

M - About typical for any good IPA.

Overall - An incredibly well-balanced offering from Sierra Nevada. Not a whole lot of room for improvement. I always look forward to Celebration's release but decided to finally take the time to review it.
