Thanks Andrew for the sample of Hill Farmstead Double Citra
This is a beautiful, glowing yellow beer with a nice, tight white head of foam. The beer bursts with bright citrus and fresh mango and pineapple. The DIPA is faintly malty that serves to showcase the glorious hops. The hops are just in full bloom, showing juicy fruit and a hard-to-describe hoppy fullness and flavor that few beers come close to reaching. I've come to the realization that beers like this are best served from the keg that's been transported, and served cold--even the best DIPA's in bottles seem to suffer compared to fresh draft versions like this. This is a great, fruity-hop forward beer, in which faults are hard to find.

Can't say i was a fan of this one, too much punch without comfortable hop flavor, given the high rank, most think otherwise, but Hill Farmstead has many other more enjoyable for me than this blend.

A textbook citra showcase; aroma is orange marmalade, grapefruit zest, juicy tangerine and a hint of grass. Taste gives juicy tangerine and pulpy & zesty grapefruit, slightly grassy and just a hint of malty sweetness on the finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation, foamy mouthfeel turns into a creamy finish, high drinkability

Slightly malty, tropical hoppy, and a subtle orange citrus nose on this one! Taste follows with some sweet and floral orange citrus, malty-sweetness, a kiss of briny, minerality, and a subdued hoppy bitter finish. As this was canned on 4/18/23 (consumed on 6/7/23), I had this while it was a little long in the tooth...but, you can tell that this was absolutely fantastic when fresh. This is still well-made and delicious!
