47 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 4.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

I'm told this is the quintessential craft beer and it is now available in Ontario in cans. Can. Colour - a golden amber, good effervescence, this off-white head. Aroma - grapefruit, cereals, yeast, and spices. Mouthfeel - almost full bodied, well carbonated. Flavour - it starts off a little malty, but after that, it's all about the hops. And that is a good thing.
