Sierra Nevada Celebration:
Ah hello friends and welcome back to the best little beer website in Texas- in my opinion.  Today let us continue our trek through the beer winter wonder land and take a stop and a gander at what Sierra Nevada has to offer us.  Celebration Ale is one of those winter beer that once again breaks tradition of the winter beers (if there is a tradition) by being an IPA and not a dark malty beer.  The beer pours a nice ruby red color with a great light white foamy head that leaves impressive lacing and a nose of grapefruit and piney hops.  The beer’s taste starts out with a smooth boozy note that quickly blows up into strong grapefruit flavor that sticks around till the back end where it lightens up to a thick piney liquid that mellows to that great hop skunk all us hop heads crave.  This beer reminds me of a Dogfish 90 minute but thicker and that isn’t such a bad thing really, seeing how this is a winter beer.  Really this beer could be released anytime of the year by Sierra Nevada due to it’s delicious flavor profile but it’s worth the wait to drink this during the winter.
