The Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA is a groundbreaking, uncompromising West Coast IPA from the legendary Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Chico, California, whose name refers to a revolutionary invention: the first beer brewed using Sierra Nevada's Hop Torpedo – a torpedo-shaped steel tank through which the fermented beer is passed, absorbing the aromas of whole hop cones without becoming too bitter. The bouquet is characterized by intense hop aroma and a hint of citrus, herbs, and caramel, with the palate dominated by a bitter taste of 65 IBU featuring notes of flowers and resin, followed by a dry, bitter finish. The Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA is the perfect choice for all hop enthusiasts and IPA lovers seeking a powerful, aromatically complex, and craft-breakthrough American India Pale Ale that impresses as a bold companion to meat stews, aged cheeses, and spicy dishes, as well as a standalone enjoyment for those who want to experience the American IPA heritage in its boldest and most unforgettable form.
