Sierra Nevada - Atomic Torpedo - Imperial IPA (Ale/USA)



Sierra Nevada is one of the first and largest craft breweries in America.
Atomic Torpedo can be considered a larger version of Sierra Nevada Torpedo. They have elevated this beer from a double IPA to an Imperial, with the only difference being a higher alcohol content. Atomic Torpedo is a full-bodied beer, and you can feel that it is less liquid when poured into a glass. The head has good retention and the color is close to amber. Despite having a significant amount of hops, the beer's bitterness is not too strong, as its IBU remains at 50. Therefore, in my opinion, although it is generally good, it doesn't deliver the expected taste of a Double or Imperial IPA. You can strongly sense the malt flavors in the beer, and the moderate bitterness suppresses the sweetness. It's a nice beer, but it doesn't meet expectations.
