Brewery: Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Chico, California
Overview: Sierra Nevada Celebration is not particularly a Christmas beer, but a hop-laden spicy winter warmup. A perennial staple, it has made many an appearance around my house and in front of my barstool.
Aroma: Fresh evergreen, clean hop smell. Some spicy notes.
Appearance: Translucent amber with orange highlights. Generous frothy white head that persists.
Flavor: Hop dominated, the citrus and grapefruit flavors reminiscent of a potent IPA. The bitterness lingers on the sides of the tongue. Some hit of sweet in the back of the throat.
Overall Impression: Good beer overall, not sure why this is a winter beer and not a summer seasonal, but it is still one that I drink nevertheless. Always enjoyable.
