What they say: "Celebration Fresh Hop Ale is a special ale for the holidays. Featuring the first hops of the growing season, this pioneering IPA is full of complex flavors and aromas from the generous use of whole cone American Hops"
What we say: This is one of the best beers on the market, grocery store or not. The breweries description is on the money with the "full of complex flavor" assessment. Multiple and layered hop flavors are right up front with no searching involved. Additionally, there is a decent amount of malt flavor trying to play catch up. This winter seasonal usually starts hitting shelves in November and quite often sales out quick. You're lucky to get a 6-pack of this by early January.
Taste: Very hoppy up from, giving away to some malt flavor in the rear.
Appearance: Simply beautiful. A gorgeous amber liquid with an off-white head that is frothy and hangs around for a good while. Leaves a moderate amount of lace on the glass.
Cost: $7.99 - $8.79 per 6-pack.
Last word: Get it! / Skip it / Wait for a sale
