Hop-forward beers weren’t popular when we started brewing in 1980. But we loved them, and we knew that if we were going to open a brewery, we’d better make something distinctive. It’s been 40 years since then, and we’re still brewing what we love. This beer showcases the bold flavors and aromas of a classic West Coast IPA: intense pine and citrus with a deep gold color and slight caramel sweetness. Here’s to following your passion, and to the next 40 years.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
Strong nose, lemon peal, pine sap, touch of sourdough. Slightly hazed medium copper body topped by a foamy white head with decent retention and faint lace. Effervescence continues up side of glass. Mouth is full-some and slightly creamy, good tingle. Flavor is straightforward, well balanced, bit of pine, hint of tropical notes, slightly sour and nicely bitter finish.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Pours clear amber with a thick and pillowy ivory head. Aroma features resiny hops with a citrus and crisp malt foundation. Flavor provides piney hops, crisp fresh malt, zesty grapefruit, a sweet tropical hint. Texture offers decent body and peppy fizz. Hoppy anniversary, Sierra Nevada - here's to at least 40 more!
