Sierra Nevada 3 Weight Session IPA

Sierra Nevada 3 Weight Session IPA.
4% ABV. 38 IBU.
Sierra Nevada, Chico, CA.

Clear, bright golden, slim white head.

In the nose: Bold, citrus-y hop notes. Lemon, grapefruit, orange. Pinch of pine.

In the mouth: Fiercely expressive hop bitterness on the palate, assertive and beautiful. Light-bodied, clean and lean. Easy peasy, lemon squeezey. Nice and drinkable.

Heading into the backcountry, it’s helpful to have a few things on hand. A solid fishing rod (of course), a sturdy pack, and some great beer help the day run smoothly. This session ale is the perfect choice for a day away from it all—golden, easy drinking, and full of citrusy and piney hop flavor.

Malts: Pilsner, CaraRed, Perla Negra, Wheat
Hops: Cascade, Citra, Magnum, Simcoe, Mosaic, Loral
Yeast: Ale Yeast
