***************
▶ Brewed by Sierra Nevada Brewing
Chico, California, USA / Mills River, North Carolina.

▶ Description (via the brewery):
"Once we pick fresh hops, the clock starts ticking. Each year, we visit the Pacific Northwest to hand-select the best Cascade and Centennial hops, race the harvest home, and brew immediately to capture citrus, pine, and floral notes at their absolute peak — aromas and flavors for the perfect winter beer. It’s a magical time at the brewery — has been for 40 years now! — when our brewers huddle around the fermentation tanks, toasting the start of a special season. Wrapped in red, consider Celebration IPA your first present of the holidays."

Hops: Cascade, Centennial, Chinook

***************
▶ Reviewed at Fuggled:
"Without even having to get the glass close to my nose, the hops are evident, all those classic American 'C' hop aromas just bursting all over the place. ... And somewhere underneath it all is a toffee malt sweetness, not enough to give even the merest semblance of balance, but it's there. This is a brute of a beer, big, bruising, and powerful."
