The classic American Pale Ale that is said to have defined a generation of beers, pushing the boundaries of aroma and taste usually found in your standard pint. Perfectly balanced, it showcases the floral and citrus American Cascade hop (amongst others) to beautiful effect. Pine needle, grapefruit and floral aromas bloom from the glass leading you into a slightly spicy taste followed by juicy oranges. As it slowly warms up the sweet caramel and toffee notes from the malts are revealed. Paired with a lightly spiced falafel burger it is sublime. This is the kind of beer that will change your life.
Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale is widely available in bottles and can be found in almost all supermarkets and the fridges of well stocked bars.
Most of Sierra Nevada’s regular production brews are suitable for vegans, however they brew many specialty beers that occasionally use additional ingredients like honey and lactose sugar. Please check their website which lists the ingredients for all of their beers.
This beer is suitable for vegans at the time of writing (November 2016).
