Description
Sierra Nevada's Big Little Thing is an Imperial IPA hailing from California, distinguished by its robust 9% ABV and a measured bitterness of 45 IBU. This beer is a testament to the craftsmanship of its brewer, offering a bold and balanced profile that showcases the complexity typical of Imperial IPAs. Expect a vibrant symphony of hop flavors, where the bitterness is pronounced yet harmonized with a subtle malt undertone. It's a beer that engages the palate with its layered notes, which might include hints of citrus, pine, and perhaps a touch of tropical fruit — characteristics often celebrated in this style. When serving Big Little Thing, aim for a temperature between 45 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which allows its flavors to unfold without overshadowing one another. The ideal glassware for this beer is a tulip glass. The shape of the tulip glass helps concentrate the aromas while providing enough room for the beer’s thick foam head to develop, enhancing the drinking experience. This Imperial IPA pairs beautifully with robust dishes that complement its intensity. Consider serving it alongside spicy barbecued meats or rich, creamy cheeses, both of which will stand up to and highlight the beer's hop-forward profile. For those preferring lighter fare, fried foods like fish and chips could provide a delightful contrast to the beer's bitterness, creating a balanced and satisfying meal. Big Little Thing is a beer that showcases Sierra Nevada's dedication to brewing excellence, offering a bold yet balanced taste experience for those who appreciate the nuances of a well-crafted Imperial IPA.

Drank these with a couple neighbors during poker night. Everyone seemed to like how it packs a punch without being too heavy. Will keep in mind for next time.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Glad your poker crew dug the Big Little Thing! If you want something less strong but similar vibe, check out Lagunitas IPA next round. - Marie

but honestly this is way easier to drink than most of the big IPAs out there. Poured clear and golden, bit of booze at the end but nothing crazy.

Pretty smooth for a 9 percent IPA, didn't have that harsh finish some strong ones do. Kicked back with one after work and it went down easy.
