Sierra Nevada Nooner Session IPA

This 4.8% ABV beer is from the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company of Chico, California. This is part of their new 4-Way IPA variety pack. The others in the pack are Blindfold Black IPA, Snow Wit White IPA, and their old standby Torpedo Extra IPA. 

The beer pours a dark golden honey in color, with a hint of orange. There is an inch of thick, foamy, off-white head. The aroma is passion fruit, tangerine, a bit of light pine. The taste follows the aromas, over a solid bed of toasted and crackery malt. The finish is moderately bitter to start, but increases as the beer is consumed. It is medium-bodied with a fairly crisp carbonation. Pleasantly solid (like most Sierra Nevada beers).
