As Russian starts to be left off of beer names and Ukrainian takes its place, we all have to realize that it is just a small piece to pressure Putin and support the people being unjustly annexed.
Which is why I added my voice by purchasing the Sierra Nevada Resist Anti-Imperial IPA. The beer helps benefit Drinkers for Ukraine, an organization that raises money for the Red Cross humanitarian efforts in the Ukraine.
This is a bit of a departure IPA for Sierra Nevada. Aroma is pretty muted to my nose. But the flavor is decidedly dried orange peel with pine notes drifting in. There is a flowery note as well. Not a soft note but closer to tea strength. It is an odd duck of a beer to the point that I thought there might be an off flavor which is something I don’t usually detect.
If weirdo IPA ain’t your thing, go find another charity beer to put your money and voice towards.
