Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
I saw a 6er of this in amongst the packs of Sierra Nevada selection at Hyvee this last weekend and I was highly intrigued. I really like a good grapefruity IPA and I’ve been on a quest to find one that has a similar flavor to Granite City’s Duke of Wellington IPA. Sierra Nevada has answered my prayers and it sounds like they are making this a permanent addition to their line up. This is an incredibly good beer and you’d never know it was a 7.2% brew. Fantastic “grapefruity” hoppyness that makes or breaks an IPA for me. Not a heavy brew as evidenced by my drinking of 4 bottles. I’ve been evangelizing this brew to my friends who I know like a good IPA and it appears that the distribution is a little spotty around the area. Sunday was the first time I’ve seen this stuff in the store. It should be more widely available in the near future. (so I hope anyway)
Can’t wait to try this stuff. I ordered some from my local friendly liquor store.

Its good stuff. I don’t like things like Hazed and Infused where the beer is cloudy and it tastes of Pine Sol. This stuff has the Citrus bite I like.
