Sierra Nevada Tropical Torpedo
Inspired by the island life, we created an IPA completely disconnected from the mainland. We used our one-of-a-kind Hop Torpedo to deliver an intense rush of hop flavor and the lush aromas of mango, papaya, and passion fruit with every sip. Enjoy our tropical twist on the American IPA.

Orange, floral, and grapefruit peel aroma. Flavor is grapefruit bitterness, very little malt sweetness. Leaves a resinous, bitter aftertaste. Typical contra hopped IPA.
Dunkles Gelb, schönes fruchtig tropisch es citrus Hopfen Bierchen, sehr lecker
Sierra Nevada Tropical Torpedo 6.0%. Golden, tropical fruit aroma, medium bodied, pale malt, tropical fruit, passion fruit, papaya, lychee. Lovely IPA from Chico, California 🇺🇸
I possess a 12 oz can which says tropical on the label multiple times. Let us see if there is agreement on this end. Purchased from the singles offered at the nearest HEB supermarket, I open the tab and tilt into my Great Heights snifter. The pour is a clearish, straw yellow-light orange liquid followed with a promptly settled ice-white head. A nice scent, field, meadow and blue sky. I have a drink. The ipa dominates while the tropical is way back in the cheap seats. A fair hoppiness, grain, grass and citrus. Is grapefruit tropical? Not bad. Just no push of the envelope.
12oz Dose. Trüb gelb, viel Schaum. Tropisch fruchtiger Obstsalat, überreif. Sehr fruchtiger Hopfengeschmack, ein Hauch Minze. Viel Citrus. Lecker.,
Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
Liquide doré trouble avec mousse abondante et légère. Nez légèrement agrumes. En bouche, c'est immédiatement sur l'amertume herbeuse. Sympa et rafraîchissante !!!
355 ml bottle. Unclear dark golden, foamy head. Papaya, tangerine, mango, orange, lemon zest. Mild dry hoppy citrussy bitterness with some sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry mild hoppy bitter finish. Nice mild fruity IPA.
Lys brun farge med hvitt skum. Lukter noe sitrus og grape, frisk medium bitter i smak/avslutning.
Rated August 2018.
Yellow with small white head. Slight malty aroma. Certain fruity sweet-sourness (kind of tropical fruits) followed in a while by strong hoppy bitterness.
The aroma is citrus and floral. Pours a slightly hazy yellow/orange with big frothy white head, somewhat lasting and excellent lacing. The taste is a mild/medium bitterness. The body is medium, the texture a creamy/watery and the carbonation lively.
Golden color, light opalescence. Fine foam.
Faint aroma, something from tropical fruits.
The taste is light but full of hints of bitter citrus and sweet tropical fruits. Nice bitter aftertaste.
El amargor casi perfecto. Una mezcla extraordinaria de saber hacer de esta marca con un punto cítrico que sublima una fórmula que ya emociona con la Torpedo convencional.
Tomatela al solecito, con una o dos patas fritas antes de comer y la sacas todo el rendimiento
Puszka. Złote o białej, wysokiej pianie, która opada powoli. W zapachu i smaku słód, dojrzałe tropiki z naciskiem na mango i marakuję, w tle brzoskwinie, ziarno, słoma i trawa. Trochę liści. Wszystko słodkie i oleiste, mało tutaj chmielowej goryczki, wysycenie małe do średniego, ot takie sobie
4 month old can
A: Poured a tall yellow beige blanket of foam atop a faintly hazed pale gold body. Very good retention and thick lace.
S: Very light, clean, fresh fruity scent. General citrus and tropical notes mingle with herbs and flowers.
T: Very dry and moderately bitter citrus dominates. Grapefruit and lemon pith and zest give way to a bit of wood and seltzer.
M: Light medium body, crisp carbonation and clean, bone dry finish.
O: Could use a bit more malt balance but I like the refreshing dry aspect. Drinks lighter than it is. Quite good.
Bottle, 1/4 year old? Lightly hazy amber, low head. Lime citric nose. medium body, lightly flat, light clay, leafy citric on a grassy/hayish base. Light green apple bubblegum notes. Allright.
Geruch Ananas und Grapefruit

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy gold with small white head. Light biscuit malt, grapefruit hops and mild tropical hops. Well made if slightly simplistic.
Part of the retirement/birthday haul from my colleagues, thanks guys. a small can. Aroma: still smells of grapefruit! Appearance: opaque orangey amber, 2-3mm. off-white bubbles. Palate: medium-bodied and slick, soft carbonation, rather astringent finish. Taste: heavily bitter, citrus, no tropical fruit to speak of. Very average, a let down.
Clean light amber taste, big white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, tropical fruits, pine, hops. Sweet dry taste with light hoppy bitterness in finish and aftertaste. Thin body and medium carbonation. Nice fruity IPA for easy drinking.
Bottle at thunder road. Hazy yellow with a medium head. Aroma of tropical fruit. Flavour is fruit and resin, soft carbonation, tropical finish.
Bottle at Big Texas Beer Fest. Pours a hazy orange gold with medium off white head. The aroma is tropical fruit and resin. Medium body, juicy grapefruit, mango, light bitter finish, very good.
Deep golden, medium white head, medium - full bodied. This beer has a wonderful finish. Hoppy like a session, citrus, pineapple, mango, etc. really add just the right touch. Not overly juicy or too sweet. Splendid, not too puckery mouth feel.
Birra dal bel.colore ambrato chiaro con una schiuma bianca abbastanza persistente. Gli aromi sono quasi tutti del luppolo con note di papaya, mango, fruit passione, una live nota resinosa. In bocca è dolce di malto per poi virare decisamente verso il luppolo, quindi con note di frutta tropicale. Quasi a fine bevuta arriva l'amaro deciso ma non invadente.
One of my favorite little IPAs. As you might expect, hops and tropical fruit sit right up front; no further gimmicks. It's not groundbreaking by any means, but it's refreshing and hits all the notes I'd want it to. I find myself wanting to treat it like a session IPA on hot summer days; of course, it's a bit too heavy for that to be a great idea most of the time.
Bottle, at Både Vått & Tørt. It pours a two-finger white head over a clear dark golden colored body. The aroma is piney and grapefruity, with canned tropical fruit mix. Rather low on maltyness both in aroma and flavor. It has a fine bitterness, it's full-bodied and lightly warming, with a pleasant carbonation. Pine cones, grapefruit, tropical fruit mix and a touch of sweetness in the flavor. Long fruity finish. A pleasant beer, but I prefer the regular Torpedo. 190810
Bottle. Pours hazy dark amber with small white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, herbs, flowers and hints of redcurrants. Taste is very sweet, medium to very bitter and light acidic. Body is oily with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and rich with sweet and bitter notes of malt, caramel, tropical fruit, plums and tawny port wine.
도수에 비해 가볍게 느껴지는 ipa
복숭아 맛이 살짝 느껴지는 단맛이 지배적이고, 미묘한 신맛도 느껴짐
홉은 뒤로 갈수록 약해짐
표면 매끈하며 워터리한 텍스처
잘 들어가는 ipa라 여름에 최적이지만 시에라 네바다 이름값 생각하면 살짝 아쉽...
이라 생각했지만 제조한지 10개월 가까이된 재고처리용이라 일단 판단유보
Muy buena tropical ipa aunque pelín alcoholizada, una explosion de sabores
355ml bottle. Clear golden color. Citrus, fruity, fizzy, malty, bland in aroma/taste.
