Sierra Nevada. A very nice drop!

The entire range of Sierra Nevada beers have been a fantastic find for me. Not one for the mass produced watery beers that are generally swilled, I prefer to swill something with a little more body and complexity. The Sierra Nevada range certainly delivers to this end.
A word of warning regarding the SN Torpedo. This is not for the faint hearted! Torpedo comes in at 7.2% alcohol, rocket fuel!
I love the complex hop flavours in this beer, it is quite creamy and somewhat top of palate with citrus tones and herbal accents. I tried it in a Reidel IPA glass after trying it in a standard pilsener glass first off, interestingly I found it seemed to mellow and become a little softer in this glass, but then maybe thats what a 7.2% alcohol content does to you!
Fantastic with a blue cheese!
