Sierra Nevada Torpedo (355ml)

Aromas of citrus, pine, pear, grapefruit, and mango. You can also feel the sweetness of bread and caramel from the malt, making this a masterpiece with a more exquisite balance than any other IPA.

The ultimate never-ending hop experience.

An American IPA that has been brewed since 2009.

This is Sierra Nevada's first American IPA as a standard product, and the first new standard in the brewery's 29th year since its founding.

At the time, this IPA used Citra, the latest hop variety released the previous year, and brought out the full potential of Citra's hop character, such as its tropical aroma and flavor.

The beer's name comes from the revolutionary dry hopping device called "Hop Torpedo" developed by Ken Grossman and his brewers.

The stainless steel vessel holds 150 gal (570 L) of beer and 80 lbs (36 kg) of whole hops.

How it works is that the device is first filled with hops, and then beer from the fermentation tank slowly passes through it and then returns to the fermentation tank.

Depending on the batch size, it passes through two containers before returning to the tank and continues circulating at 3 gal (11 L) per minute for four days.

This is an excellent way to bring out the maximum flavor and aroma of the hops without producing any unnecessary bitterness.

This beer has a beautiful deep orange color with fluffy white foam, and wonderful aromas of citrus, pine, earthy notes, pear, and tropical fruits such as grapefruit, mango, and papaya burst from the glass.

When you put it in your mouth, you first taste the bready flavor from the malt and the caramel-like sweetness. The hoppy flavor, which initially feels smooth, quickly transforms into a spicy citrus flavor, followed by a floral taste.

It has a refreshing taste that melts in your mouth, and is medium bodied with a very creamy texture.

Crispy and pleasant finish.

Aggressive but more balanced than any other IPA.

A great tasting IPA that I would recommend to everyone.
