Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA

This old standby is from the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company of Chico, California. This is part of their new 4-Way IPA variety pack. The others in the pack are Blindfold Black IPA, Snow Wit White IPA, and Nooner Session IPA. It is 7.2% ABV.

The beer pours a deep copper and amber in color. There is an inch of thick, somewhat creamy very light tan head. The aroma is citrus, passion fruit, pine and light melon. The taste is piney, lightly fruity, over toasted caramel malt base, with a blisteringly bitter finish. The beer is medium-bodied and smooth. One of Sierra Nevada’s many can’t go wrong beers.
