Torpedo Extra IPA

Brewery: Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Supplier: Beers of Europe

This is Sierra Nevada's year round IPA. Named as it is the first beer to use their Hop Torpedo, a dry-hopping device that they invented. I served this chilled.
Appearance: Pale with an orange hue, the head is a medium off-white that fades.
Aroma: Very hoppy with citrus and lyche, hints of roasted notes in the back.
Flavour: Nice hoppy notes but with some slightly soapy hoppy bitter notes.
Body: Fairly smooth body with a chewiness on the back.
Aftertaste: Quite clean with some hints of bitter hop.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, a very nice and clean hoppy IPA.

Price Range: £3.29 for a 473ml can, good price for a nice beer.

Food Pairings: Something very garlicy, maybe like a creamy pasta.
