I can't wait to try it. Maybe alongside some SN Torpedo. |

Yes, was thinking the same thing.
Every SN IPA must use the same baseline of Hops to start out with as it
is the easiest brew to ID at first taste. � I really like the extra

Torpedo screams, "Sierra Nevada!" However, I think the hops are
mostly new varieties for SN -- though they could be derived from the
more familiar Cascades, Centennials, Chinook, etc. Before SN came out
with Torpedo, they had a really great (though not as good as Torpedo)
seasonal IPA, which tasted unmistakably as a SN beer -- even though it
was made w/ English hops.
SN used to have an amazing seasonal bottled pale bock. Even that,
though it was (unusually for SN at the time) a lager, and one that
employed German hops, yelled, "Sierra Nevada."

recreate a consistent Celebration batch each year now.
I still haven't tasted this year's, but recent years have been very
consistent. In the 80s and 90s it varied a bit; hop varieties and
overall intensity fluctuated. Some years it had a mellower hop
attack, which disappointed me. |
