From the brewer

Chico King is a regal yet raucous take on the pale ale that both our breweries adore. It features a complex malt body from the use of an undermodified malt, which leads to a complex and nutty malt flavor, and a bright fruit-forward blend of Mosaic, El Dorado and Calypso hop varietals. Chico King is a beer fit for royalty.

Who's been drinking this

More obviously hopped sierra pale
Bubblegum and sweet amber malt with resinous hop presence but very thin. A watery Lagunitas Brown Shugga is what came to mind, which should tell you a lot about how I liked it. Alcohol is a bit too exposed.
