American, Colorado
IPA
$10ish/6 pack
Poundability: 2/5
Value: 3/5
Overall: 3/5
Amber/hazy color with bitter aromas of spruce/woodsiness. Mild alcohol taste for 6.8% with an aggressive bitterness on first taste.
I found it overly bitter, even by Sierra's IPA standards. They always do a good job, and this is no exception, but overall not for me. Standard winter spices, relatively smooth, but hops over power. Definitely a good winter style for someone who likes really big hoppy beers. Bitterness brings down poundability but for a $10/6 pk you can't complain. Sierra continues to be a great "craft" brewer after all these years that hasn't jacked up the prices despite the competition. Always a good seller. Would recommend. Just wish hops were downplayed some.
