Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale has been leading the charge for American craft beers in the UK for some time now and it's almost ubiquitous in London pubs with its tell-tale green label peering out from fridges across the capital. High time then, that I finally tried it! SNPA is very highly regarded and it's easy to see why - it's a solid beer. It's brewed with cascade hops and therefore isn't exactly to my taste, the nose is floral and the taste citrus and bitter as you would expect. Nothing in it is over-bearing though and it's very drinkable and at 5.6% it's not going to blow your head off. It's not particularly to my taste but I now know what all the fuss is about and recognise why this beer has become so prominent in the UK as well as in its home in northern California.
