Citra Radler
Odd Side Ales

The pour is a very transparent amber color with a near white head that left no lacing.
The taste is bread pudding with grapefruit rind and the sweetness from the pudding overwhelms the grapefruit. Very strange take on a grapefruit forward beer.
The feel is light and nearly crisp, but eminently slam-able.
OA, tasty enough, but it doesn’t scream (or whimper) grapefruit.

 

 

 

Pours a somewhat hazy golden yellow color with a finger width carbonated head that quickly dissipates. Lacing is good. Has a grapefruit and somewhat funky aroma to it. Grapefruit taste with some mild earthy funk and bitterness. Light bodied with moderate to heavy carbonation.

12 FL OZ can
Served in a pint glass

This beer pours a pale yellow color with a slight haze. It is topped with an inch of white head that leaves decent lacing.

The aroma is citrus with the grapefruit soda standing out.

It has a nice grapefruit flavor. It is sweeter than the base beer. No bitterness is detected.

Medium to thin mouthfeel

This is a refreshing, easy drinking beverage. I could chug a sixer of this stuff.

Great tasting, immensely refreshing fruit ale tried on tap at Odd Side Ales. Looks great, nice golden-yellow slightly hazy color with a fine cap of white head and sheets of fine carbonation lingering lacing. Smells of some crisp grapefruit and tangerine hops, malt, vanilla and bright floral hops. Tastes similarly. Really good refreshing, juicy, vibrant feel. Smooth, mild mouthfeel, good carbonation. Really enjoyable and light and crushable.

 

 

 

 

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 4/30/2019. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big ruby red grapefruit juice, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of grapefruit, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big ruby red grapefruit juice, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness; and citrus tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of ruby red grapefruit juice, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of grapefruit, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no astringent hop/fruit flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, tart/tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and sticky/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.8%. Overall this is an awesome hoppy radler. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of grapefruit, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/acidic/tangy/drying finish. very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. wesome balance of vibrant grapefruit and juicy/dank/earthy Citra hops; with a nice clean pale malt backbone for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness from crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example as expected. One of the best I have had.
