5/06/2009: Sierra Nevada Chico IPA has a clear copper color with a puffy, off-white to yellowish head that produces thick lacing. The aroma has sugary toffee and grapefruit peel. The flavor reminds me of an intense Torpedo Ale with a bit more maltiness and a slightly caramelized flavor. Similar to the Torpedo Ale, this beer has a very long, hoppy finish that is filled with pithy, bitter orange flavor that stays with you for quite some time. Overall this beer is still well-balanced and very drinkable. Killer finish!
Pint (draught; 7.9% ABV) at the Sierra Nevada Artisan Ale Experience at Olives in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rating #14 for this beer.
