Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA

Sierra Nevada Brewery has factories in Chico Californa and Mills River North Carolina. They describe their Torpedo Extra IPA (7.2%ABV) as dry hopped with their “revolutionary” hop torpedo (whatever that is). Pouring into a large glass the beer was a dark amber with a beautifully fine bubbled dark cream coloured head that held right to the bottom of the glass. The beer itself had strong passionfruit on the the nose with undertones of pine. The taste was bitter up front with some citrus and passionfruit with a lingering bitterness at the back of the mouth. There was considerable mouth feel and the beer was not particularly dry.
