Sierra Nevada Pale Ale


Had been recommended this beer by a guy who's opinion on beer I would trust as I have sunk several beers and drams with him - so when I saw it in Tesco I had to try it. This Pale Ale is brewed by the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and gets rave reviews on the net.


I would have to agree that this is cracking - very malty and lively with what I would probably put down as a blackcurranty note in the finish. Would imagine this could be a cracking session beer and definitely one for the summer. Also some citrus notes are in there as well.


Would definitely recommend this and will be looking out to try other beers from them in particular the porter or the stout

You'll have to wait 6 months or so, but try their Summerfest when it comes time...

Yummy stuff. They have it on tap at the amazing Rake bar in Borough Market at London Bridge.
