Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale


Celebration Ale is "a special ale for the holidays". I find it a very appropriate for this holy day, Ash Wednesday.

This is a pale ale done just right: each sip gives a new and clearer facet of the hop character, without ever overwhelming the pleasing malt flavor.

My friend Julie Allen bought this beer for me as a "thank you" for subbing for her a few weeks ago. The best part about Julie's thank yous is that I get to drink them. But it also benefits her. It's sort of an act of self-improvement. Each time she does this, she gets better at selecting excellent beers.
