A lot of stuff going on in here — I’d expect no less from the artisans at Sierra Nevada. I admit it took some getting used to after Lagunitas’s delicious but more straightforward approach to sparkling hop water. As with SN’s ales, this one goes through several stages on the palate before finishing with almost a quinine bitterness. Having made my piece with that, I loved it and seek it out. I don’t think it pairs well with anything sweet, though.
