Sierra Nevada Sampler Pack

Plus their classic Pale Ale makes six.

 

Even better news I was at a recent craft beer event and a bunch of sierra reps were there, thats when they told me barrel aged narwhal will be realesed in 16 oz can in a couple of months... That made my night

 

Brewing a great Helles is no easy task. But when it’s right, oh, is it right. That’s what you’ve got here: what might be a perfect Helles. Crisp and light, a symphony of new-school juicy hop flavors and a soft and easy mouthfeel—an all-around absolutely crushable beer.



Doesn't sound like a Helles to me.

 

This pack has been around for a while now and was discussed in one of the SN threads, I purchased it once and enjoyed the beers (but most I have had before) but doubt that it will be a repeat purchase for me and hopefully they occasionally rotate the beers or something.

Edit: here is a thread and I can't believe that this was almost a year ago already, time is really flying!

Well this is life changing news, I've been hunting for BA Narwhal since my 21st birthday last year.

 

Yeah, sounds more like "what the hell!" Maybe it is just marketing...

 

I am going to snag a pack for the items I never had. It is a good summer mix.

 

I must have linked to the wrong thread then but trust me this pack with this lineup is older news and has been around for a bit, I had it months ago (Jan. or Feb. of this year I think it was). And I just did a search and in Dec. '18 it was announced for the 2019 lineup so while this lineup was definitely not last year, it was since the beginning of this year.

 

Red Oak Hummingbird Helles imo is just a tad malty sweet. No juicy hops with this one.

 

Bought this pack in MD back in March......liked the Hop Solo, nothing else stood out but nothing was bad.

Enjoy

I think this is the thread. It’s been out for quite a while now. I was surprised how much I liked the helles.

 

Yeah we discussed this a long time ago. Dismissed by most. @SierraTerence any possible chance we could get a SN Helles without the "new-school juicy hop flavors"?

 

Some more factual evidence and here was my review from Jan. so I guess my memory is still on point:

What’s that?

 

Sorry , Red Oak is a local brewery that does German beers exclusively. Hummingbird Helles is their Munich style take. It’s good but both this and their Bavarian Lager imo are a tad too sweet. Their Hopgarten Pils is banging though, and the head brewer trained in Germany for over 20 years.
