Yet, another great beer in the Sierra Nevada “Fresh Hop” series! This would be a great introduction to hopped beers. Not too bitter, easy to drink – but the hoppiness comes through strong without being too overbearing. If you’re new to trying “hopped” beers, you’d likely enjoy this over some hop-heads ultimate collection.
