Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

About

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a pioneering beer in the modern pale ale style, first introduced in 1980. It features a deep amber color and a full-bodied, complex character. The beer is heavily hopped, utilizing Cascade hops to create intense aromas of pine and citrus. This hop profile is balanced by smooth caramel malt, providing a well-rounded taste experience. The Pale Ale's flavor profile includes citrus rind, floral notes, and a slight juiciness, complemented by a malty core and cleansing carbonation. It is bottle-conditioned, which enhances its natural carbonation and adds depth to its flavor. With an ABV of 5.6% and 38 bitterness units, it remains a highly drinkable and iconic craft beer that has inspired many breweries worldwide.
