Review: Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA

We really like the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale so we thought we'd give the new 'Torpedo' a try. This beer is a bigger beer with a higher ABV and that is why it is called an Extra IPA. So if you like IPA's and want to take it one step further, buyz da beer!

LOL you guys are SHOT. Love it though. Torpedo is my favorite IPA hands down. You are right on about the flavor and smell. Smell is piny fresh air smell, and it has a grape fruity taste with a great spicy hoppiness. Don't change for anyone guys, you are awesome, keep the reviews coming, you make my night.

@MrBrucelee117 Thanks! And you know what? Your name makes my night!

I live in Australia, this costs me 85 a case, but it's totally worth it. With the ABV, it works out to be a comparable price to a lot of local craft beers.

Also, is the wife always sauced or what? hahaha.

Only when we do beer reviews. But that's what drinking is about, right?

Torpedo is more of an underwater missile than a bomb, but ya.

Did you check out Sierra Nevada's website for the info on this beer? I just had my first bottle of it WHILE watching this video. I agree with your flavour profile on it. I think their starting gravity was around 1.62 or something like that, they have it measured in degrees Plato on their site. Lots of Magnum hops, and they also dry hop it with something called "Citra" hops, which I'm not familiar with. They named it "Torpedo" because of a dry-hopping technique, which I'm trying to get info on.
