Sierra Nevada Dankful IPA

Sierra Nevada Dankful IPA,...generously hoppy.

7.4 % ABV, 55 IBU. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Chico, CA.

Clear, amber-hued, slim white head. 

In the nose: Citrus and pine aplenty, with a slight dose of tropical sweetness. Lemon and orange abound.

In the mouth: Pow! Big blast of bitterness from the start, spreading citrus-y goodness and a healthy shot of dry, brittle piney flavor. Medium/light body, exquisitely drinkable. Long, bitter finish. A jolt of the juicy comes along to compliement the bitter hoppiness that rides through the whole affair. 

I am so happy that Sierra Nevada keeps making great IPAs like this. Good ol' reliable Sierra Nevada. Keep 'em coming, guys. 

(Once more, I take notes on the last can from the 6-pack. Wish I had more.)

We celebrate #IPADay every year, but this is no ordinary year. Today, we're proud to announce Dankful IPA, a hop-forward West Coast IPA that supports nonprofits working in our communities. The beer has a resinous kick with notes of pine and tropical fruit. Through our Dankful program, we've committed at least $1 million in donations this year, and are kicking things off with a $250,000 donation to @wckitchen. World Central Kitchen has served more than 25 million meals to families facing food insecurity during the COVID crisis through its #ChefsForAmerica program, while also providing jobs for restaurant workers. We're Dankful for that.

Malts:Two-row Pale, Caramelized malts & Rye. Hops:Columbus, Chinook, Mosaic, Ekuanot, Nelson Sauvin, Zappa, Idaho 7.
