Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA is often referred to as the
best fair priced IPA. It is consistently
stated as a go to beer for many hop-heads out there such as myself. I cannot wait to review this ever so
respectable brew. Enjoy!
Appearance- Beautiful golden amber hue to this beer. With the initial pour, there is about a one
finger head that seems to be lasting quite a while. Definitely a creamy head but there are some
large bubbles. It has low transparency
and has medium to high carbonation.
Great appearance to this beer.
Smell- With the first sniff of this IPA, I get a reasonable
hit of floral and piney hops. With the
second waft, I get some tropical hints of orange with a crisp finish to the
nose. Final smell with a swirl of the
glass there is definitely more presence of bitter hops there is a strong bit of
hops in this beer without a doubt.
Taste- Right on the back of the tongue you get a beautiful
dry pine and floralness to this brew.
Followed directly by that sense of orange that I pick up before with
even a little grapefruit possibly.
Second sip I get wow way more of the tropical tastes with just a bite of
hops to finish it off. Very impressed
with the taste especially the dryness on the back of the tongue.
Mouthfeel- Very very
smooth to drink for 7.2% it’s totally hidden and well balanced. It is a medium bodied beer that is just light
enough to enjoy multiple in an evening.
This mouthfeel is how I expect an American IPA to be.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this beer and would definitely
keep a six pack of this at all times in the fridge. I would recommend it to every craft beer
drinker and even to those who are just now exploring the realms of IPA's. There is a bitterness to it but not too
overwhelming for anyone. This beer is a
two thumbs up. CHEERS!
