Powder Day IPA from Sierra Nevada is a double dry-hopped American IPA that showcases the brewery's mastery of lupulin powder application. As one of craft beer's pioneering forces since 1980, Sierra Nevada demonstrates their hopcraft expertise in this citrus-forward expression. The result is a balanced yet assertive IPA with moderate bitterness and a distinctly juicy character.

The aroma leads with bright citrus notes—orange, grapefruit and pine—inviting and complex. On the palate, hoppy flavors dominate with a juicy quality, though bitterness remains restrained. The beer carries a light to medium body with crisp carbonation, finishing with subtle berry undertones and a clean, dry aftertaste.
