Sierra Nevada Old Cantankerous (Stock Ale) is a collaboration beer brewed on 9/04/09 at Sierra Nevada’s R&D Pilot Brewery for Beer Camp #13. Beer Camps #13 & #14 consisted of the gold medal winning homebrewers from the 2009 American Homebrewers Association (AHA) National Homebrew Competition (NHC). Old Cantankerous was brewed with a combination of seven different domestic & continental malts including two types of Caramel, Chocolate, Pale, Pils, Munich & Vienna for a rich complexity with five different hops being used for balance & character including Magnum, Perle, Sterling & the New Zealand hops Pacifica & Southern Cross which were used in the hopback for additional aroma & complexity. The famous house ale yeast was used to top ferment & condition this American Strong Ale/Stock Ale for approx. 8-10 weeks. Like previous camp beers, Old Cantankerous is only available in select markets and at the brewery’s taproom & restaraunt until it’s history!

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8
Sampled on 10/1/2011. This old ale pours a light amber gold color from a 750ml/22oz(?) corked and caged bottle. Large sized white foamy head with good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is malty, fruity, bready and sweet. A medium bodied old ale. The malts are caramel, fruity, and semi-sweet. The hops are herbal and earthy. Decent carbonation. Nice balance. Very smooth taste. There is a hint of wood and maybe a little oxidation. Nice dry malty/caramel finish. Very tasty beer. Purchase at the gift shop at the Sierra Nevada Brewery. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
