Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
Celebration Fresh Hop Ale
California, USA
A true classic, this comes out every year at this time, since 1981, never miss picking this up by the case, big hops, wonderful citrus and pine notes, they use whole hops, not pellets, you can taste and smell how fresh these hops are, Outstanding beer!!!

Fast-moving fizz-fuzz that drops like a curtain to reveal a Dubuffet-esque remnant. Caramel and ginger, maple wood, golden raisin, cinnamon bread and baked pear nose. Raspy cedar, pointed nettle, pecan shell and walnut. Toasted wheat germ, orange bitters. The aforementioned slow-cooked into a potent amalgam. Winter wood trolls with tropical bounties stuffed into squirrel holes. Go nuts! #sierranevada #ipa #freshhops #celebrationipa

Nose of orange peel, pine needles, grapefruit, and a touch of biscuit.
Lots of herbal, citrusy hop character up front: grapefruit, pine, and perhaps some notes of mango and orange and a touch of caramel malt. Pleasantly bitter, resiny finish. Tiny bubbles and dextrins build a luxurious mouthfeel.
One of my all time favorites. As good as ever.
