Need a Nice Session Beer After a Controlled Fall Down A Moutain?

Sierra Nevada Glissade


Session beer? I hate the term... really, really hate it... but this qualifies. It's easy to drink; not a lot of flavor, and you don't really want it to have much more either.


If mowing the lawn is your first association with the spring, then this beer is a great spring beer for you. It smells like freshly cut grass and wet hay... unfortunately, I feel that it doesn't taste much different.


The beer doesn't finish like most of the Sierra Nevada Beers; they all have a very distinct finishing flavor that I am normally not a fan of - its not a taste I enjoy. The only other Sierra Nevada I've had that lacked that distinctive taste was the Kellerweiss. It was a good for that beer, but the Glissade needs that extra kick. It lacks a lot of taste and finish, and what it does have of those is not that great.
