Had the 2012 version. Intense citrusy hops. Very dry and smooth finish. Very enjoyable.





Great holiday ale. Almost red color with wonderful piney scent and lots of bitterness. One of my faves.





This is a very hoppy beer with a clear bitterness. This is not bad but not my favorite.



Pretty reddish beer, piney and bitter. A little to bitter for my liking.



Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale is a well balanced American IPA with tons of citrusy hop aroma and flavor and a good amount of bitterness. It generally has that Sierra Nevada taste which all of their APA/IPA's like Pale Ale, Torpedo, and Ruthless Rye have, but I think this is the most aromatic of the bunch and it kind of has that piney zest that makes me think of Christmas. In comparison, Ruthless is a bit dryer, Torpedo the most bitter, and the Pale the lightest and easy-drinkingest.





Grapefruit & pine notes balanced nicely by a medium mouthfeel and ain't finish.
