Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

	Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Chico, California 8/12/2009, on tap at Bill Bateman's Bistro, 5.6 abv
Smell	Pretty good aroma of hops, hints of citrus and grapefruit.
Appearance	Clear copper with a small head.
Taste	A great, well balanced mix of sweet and bitter. There is definitely a hint of red grapefruit. Once the upfront taste goes away, the aftertaste surfaces and lingers for quite a while. Very nice.
Comments	I am told the draft version of SNPA is more subdued than the bottled version. I will try it in a bottle, but it's going to be pretty hard to beat it on tap.
