Terrible on all aspects. Quite possibly infected—the can erupted when I opened it—and the remaining beer I managed to save underwhelmed, akin to a malty amber and not a zippy citra ale.

Was in the middle of typing a large review for this beer and then my phone crashed and didn't save it.. so I'm just going to give it a rate.

16oz can from LambicPentameter (thanks!). No apparent canning date. Served in a Terrapin goblet.
Pours a dull, pale yellow with almost two fingers of white head. A wide island across the surface and healthy collar collar remain, leaving copious lace.
As promised, citrus and melon abound in the nose. A delightful mix of oranges and honeydew with a slight crackery background.
The taste unfortunately lacks the vibrancy of the aroma but still delivers some nice tropical hop character. Orange pulp, melon rind and a bit of cracker. Quite easy drinking with soft but pleasant fruity hop flavor.
Rather thin feel with moderate carbonation. Softly bitter finish with citrus peel, melon rind and subtle malt.
Citra Melon is on the right track but still seems a tad weak/ thin even for the style. While I could drink this all night I would rather try this uniquely tasty hop combination in a more assertive format.

Thanks to Kegatron for sharing this pounder can. It appears a hazy yellow color with a thin white head.
Nose is citrus and fruity with a bit of mineral and carbonic character being a little intrusive. The taste includes fruity hops, carbonic character and herbal bitterness.
This is light bodied and modestly carbonated. A decent brew that seems muddied up a bit by the carbonic/mineral character.
