Advantages: nice light beer but with flavor, Thirst-quenching, Easy drinking after the first few sips

Disadvantages: bitterness, difficult on the first few sips

I'm not a big fan of pale ales but I am a big fan of Sierra Nevada so I found this one very difficult to rank overall. Foamy, slight carbonation, deep amber color. Malty, and fruity on the nose, both of which appear in the flavor. Yeast adds to flavor, followed by sour citric aftertaste. After you're about helfway through the first, you'll find that you've adjusted to the bitterness and this beer can become easy drinking and thirst-quenching. However, getting down those first few sips can be a bit overwhelming due to the typical bitterness found in a pale ale.
