Sierra Nevada Celebration

I've had Sierra Nevada Celebration a couple times before, back before I really got into beer.  I remember thinking it was very bold, but I couldn't remember much else about it, so I snagged a bottle to try again:

Vittles:
American IPA
6.8% abv
65 IBU

Score:
Appearance: 9/10
Aroma: 23/25
Taste: 38/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 91/100

Impression:
It's certainly bold, that's for sure.  It packs one hell of a hoppy punch both in the nose and on the tongue.  The aroma is dominated by grapefruit, with some spicy, pine, and floral notes playing backup.  There's a bit more of a malt presence in the flavor than there is in the bouquet, and that provides a decent balance, but the American hops characteristics, particularly the grapefruit and pine, are really front and center.  I'm also picking up on something a little on the herbal side lurking in the background -- it's a little unexpected, but not off-putting.  If you're looking for a solid IPA, this'll do quite nicely.

Cheers!
