Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA 12 x 350ml Bottles

*Not Amazon 'verified' as I bought this locally when it was on an offer at a pound a bottle :)This beer pours an orange-yellow-brass colour, like cayenne with a bit of turmeric. Smell is orange/citrus. With gentle pouring the head is average, lacing too. Give it a bit of a heave into a large glass and the head is bigger, tighter, and the lacing tight and long-lasting. Deep hoppy, fruity, oaty tastes at the side of the tongue, then a longlasting bitter aftertaste at the back of the mouth. If you are deterred from some American-style 'citrus' tasting beers because they are too fruity, you can try this because the citrus aspect is less aggressive. The ABV is 7.2% so you will need to be sitting down and escorted by a nominated, sober minder: this is definitely not a session beer unless you are reliving the film 'Leaving Las Vegas'. My guess is that the citrus 'hit' would cut through fish and chips or (?) a pork chop. Overall, I like it, although the strength would deter me from drinking more than one bottle at a time.

This has to be one of my favorite beers of all time . Only beer better is hoptimum also from Sierra Nevada .
