Sierra Nevada - Tumbler

Sierra Nevada uses malt within days of roasting at the peak of its flavor to give Tumbler a gracefully smooth malt character. Two-row pale, crystal 40, chocolate and smoked malts give it a malty complexity. Challenger hops in the boil add balancing bitterness, while more Challengers and some Goldings give just enough hop flavor in the finish to balance all that malt.

The ABV is 5.5 and the IBU rating is 37
Style -American Brown Ale
Glass to use- Pint Glass or Mug
Delivery 12oz Bottle

Not recommended for extended cellaring.
The Pour - Pours a clear brown color.  Has a nice cream head with great retention. Good lacing.
Aroma - Hints of hops, some breadiness and a touch of caramel.
Taste -  Same as the noise, some hops and some breadiness.
Mouth Feel - Well carbonation, clean and crisp.
Drinkable - Definitely a light brown session ale.  Easy to drink but nothing extraordinary.

This beer pair well with most foods including cheese and meats.

This beer gets a Duper rating of B-.
