Citra Swell
Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

 

On tap at RB in Bethesda, small head with no lacing and a medium amber (slight orange) color. Nice classic citra aroma, orange and lemon. Taste is floral and citrus, not a huge punch but nice. Bitter and slight malts hit on the way out, solid citra.

On tap at the Promenade Beer & Wine Festival in Long Beach, CA.

This beer was brewed by the Rock Bottom location in Long Beach.

Pours a clear honey orange with a foamy off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, and citrus zest aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus fruit and citrus zest flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with nice citrus forward hop characteristics all around.

Serving type: on tap.
