Beers similar to Old Chico

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

American Wheat Ale·United States·4.8% ABV·One of 115 American Wheat Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Old Chico's dry and bready character. A filtered wheat beer named after the Old Chico Brewery, which operated in the town from 1865 to 1899 and appears on the label. Malted wheat and two-row pale barley give a clear, light gold beer with a firm white head and a soft cracker and bread-dough base. Crystal and Perle hops bring grassy and lightly floral aromas, and a hint of fresh pear and green apple sits in the nose. The body is light and crisp, and a moderate grassy bitterness keeps the finish dry.
