This beer appears somewhat cloudy and orange in color. While it has a regular, average IPA taste, I would also say it tastes good taste. Momentarily contradicting myself, I find the Torpedo Extra IPA is similar to the last beer I drank, Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA. Subsequently I correct myself, the Torpedo Extra IPA is more pure and/or tastes more like a typical IPA than the Ruthless Rye. 9:29PM MT
After finishing this beer, I reaffirmed my previous thoughts: it is very much a typical IPA, especially compared to the Ruthless Rye. 10:42PM MT

TORPEDO® EXTRA IPA
Whole hops, the whole time.
Sierra Nevada and hops go hand in hand. What began as a crazy idea scribbled in a pub eventually became our newest year-round hop bomb, Torpedo Extra IPA. The first beer to feature our “Hop Torpedo”—a revolutionary dry-hopping device that controls how much hop aroma is imparted into beer without adding additional bitterness. Torpedo Extra IPA is an aggressive yet balanced beer with massive hop aromas of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit.
