Sierra Nevada Golden IPA. Sniffing this beer, I find it hard to detect any IPA smell. The pour resulted in a thick, slowly dissipating head. The beer is cloudy and orange in color. On the first sip, I find it tastes quite different from a typical IPA. Afterwards, the bitterness begins to accumulate. 12:37AM MT

GOLDEN IPA

A gilded homage to Cascade hops.

We’ve always had a passion for hops, but in today’s hop-heavy beer landscape it’s easy to forget where that passion came from. In the early days, one variety changed everything—the Cascade hop. It captured us then, and the flavor is still gripping: floral and grassy with a pronounced resinous pine and grapefruit aroma. Our Golden IPA pays homage to the mighty Cascade and wonderful world of hop flavor it inspired.
