Sierra Nevada Pale Ale from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Rating: B+
Not as much head as I'd expected when poured... nice color, a darker amber than I expected.
Smells of malt and hops. Surprising for its lack of much else. This is how beer should smell, straight-up.
Hops are the dominant flavor here. This is beer, brewed well and not trying to be anything else.
Mouthfeel is very crisp, carbonation and bitterness give a nice bite at first.
A fine beer, but drinkability isn't exceptional. Maybe a stylistic choice.
Serving type: bottle
