I love fall seasonal beers, Octoberfests, Browns, Pumpkin ales, I love them all. I recently met Steve the Indiana Sierra Nevada rep at a couple of different parties. I thought I'd see if his product is any good.
The fall seasonal - Tumbler seems at first glance like it would be my kind of beer. Brown, malty, not too bitter, sounds like a Waber kind of beer. Also, being a fall seasonal in September, I'm pretty sure it will be fresh and not sitting around too long.
I picked up a 6'er at my local package store and I have to say I like it pretty well. It has a lot of the same flavors as the English Mild I brewed, just bigger. The English mild is exactly that, mild. Not to strong, not too hoppy, just gentle. Tumbler is like the English Mild punched up a bit.
It's pretty good. I don't normally drink much Sierra Nevada. Most of the time all those west coast breweries are way to hop focused for me. Tumbler isn't. Extremely drinkable and really good in the evening when the heat of the day is gone. I'll buy at least one more 6 of Tumbler, and I'll be looking forward to it again next year. Solid 7 of 10 and one I'd recommend.
