Sidecar Orange Pale Ale | Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Brewed by:
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
California, United States

Style: American Pale Ale (APA)
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 5.30%
Availability: Year-round
Notes / Commercial Description:
This beer has a pop of bright orange flavor that emphasizes the natural citrus-heavy character of Cascade, Equinox and Mandarina hops. Brewed with orange peel added directly to the kettle, and all the classic hop flavor you'd come to expect from our all-new take on the hop-forward fruit beer.

This is ok. I smell the orange and it has nice bubbles and feel. It doesn’t have a big orange flavor. As it warms up slightly, I don’t care for the taste.

Pours an amber orange colour with a thin tan head and slight lacing. Definitely smells of orange peel with mild hops. Taste does not have the same strong orange presence that the aroma does but it is still detectable. Really nothing special here but still a nice summertime APA. Prost!
