May 20, 2009 Draft at SN tasting at Olives.
Poured clear daek copper color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus and floral hop aroma. Medium body with slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy smooth bitter hoppy flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
This is a good beer that was better then my expectations.

Mar 27, 2009 Tap at the Grey Lodge. Pours a translucent amber with a creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of nice floral and citrusy hops, caramel and nuts. Flavor of the same. REally nice hop flavor and aroma. On the dry side too, which I liked since it really helped bring out the hop flavor! The title on this beer can probably lose the "firkin" since SN kegged up a bunch of this.

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.
