Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Poured from a bomber into a pint glass. Starting at around 40 degrees, the entire bomber lasted around 30 minutes.
A clear, copper colored beer with only a trace of a head. Some thin pacing settles on the top of the beer, but not too much remains in the glass. The second and third pours (after the beer set out to a bit) did result in a fuller, more bubbly (but short lived) head.
