Sierra Nevada Estate Homegrown Ale

AMERICAN-STYLE IPA
Sierra Nevada Brewing Company "Estate Homegrown Ale"

When hops are harvested in early September, most are dried and stored for use throughout the year. A beer's hop flavor can't get any fresher than a wet-hopped beer, brewed with hops fresh from the field and used within 48 hours of harvesting. Sierra Nevada's Estate Homegrown Ale is such a beer, and the hops and barley used are organically homegrown on the grounds of its brewery in Chico, California, making it a true local beer and one of the few estate-made ales produced anywhere in the world. This 6.7 per cent ABV American IPA shouts out fresh hop resonance of earthy, grapefruit-like flavors, as well as spicy aromas, mild malty sweetness and toasted flavors. This ale is certified organic with both the USDA and Oregon Tilth, the highest level of organic certification available.

Price: $10 for 750 ml.
