Inspired by the classic cervezas served ice cold by the beach, we created our own take on those light and easy beers born south of the border. Sierraveza is golden and crisp, with a balanced malt flavor and a hit of floral hops that will have you calling out for another round.
Review
Dennis and I both agree with Sierra Nevada's description. This beer is golden and crisp with a subtle floral hops background. It would be a good sessionable beer for a summer BBQ, during a round of golf, after working in the yard or in my case after a bike ride. Have two, Sierraveza goes down easy. Both Two Old Guys rate this brew a solid three (3) bottle caps out of five (5). Give it a try.
