Citrafied
Due South Brewing Co.

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color—too hazy to see if there is any visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high off white head.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose along with hints of caramel malts.
T: The taste has flavors of citrusy hops along with notes of caramel malts. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is an easy to drink IPA that isn't too heavy on the palate.

Serving type: can

 

 

Appearance: Pours clear and copper colored with a full three fingers; nice stickage and good lacing action

Smell: Biscuity malt tones with a hint of tropical fruit

Taste: The malt here plays a supporting role, with the slightly sweet flavor of the biscuit underpinning the tropical fruit tones; papaya and pineapple, in the forefront, with a tangerine and grapefruit aspect building, through the middle; relatively dry finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A pretty nice APA; balanced and enjoyable

 

 

From a can that was packaged a little over two months ago.
Smell: Citrusy, earthy, spicy hops. Mandarin oranges and limes dominate. Subtle breadiness from malt.
Look: it pours a pale golden color with an excessive 2" plus frothy white head that dies rather quickly. Just a tad of haze. An uneven lacing pattern is observed.
Feel: Medium light body as you would expect from a beer described as "crushable". Carbonation is light for the amount of head we saw earlier. Astringency subdued. Texture is semi-thin but creamy at the same time.
Taste: Citrus (mandarin and grapefruit) flavors are definitely there although not as assertive as you would have thought from the aroma. The bitterness is a bit unbalanced and treads on IPA territory.
Overall: Finish is smooth and quick with a slight bitterness persisting. Typical of these type session beers. I've had this beer many times and unfortunately this is not one of the better batches I've tasted. Just a bit uneven and uneventful.

 

Pale amber in color with a rocky head that settles into a one-finger collar of ivory foam. Eye-pleasing, to be sure. As advertised, Citra character leaps from the glass with pungent notes of lime, honeydew melon, tart gooseberry, and grapefruit against a subtle woodsy background. Definitely a hop forward beer. Medium bodied with a degree of lightness that makes it an easy-drinker, Citrafied delivers plenty of flavor, balanced bitterness, and a mellow ABV. Semi-dry in the finish with a citrusy linger, this is an American Pale Ale that is likely to accumulate fans.

Pours amber with 3+ fingers of cream colored head. Above average head retention & lacing

S: Bready, grassy,

T: Follows the nose, some orange and dryness as well up front. More breadyness as this warms, along with a little mango & pomelo, plus dryness as this warms, a little cereal sweetness as well. Finishes dry with cereal notes, faint pomelo notes

MF: Medium body, slight carbonation, pretty good balance

Drinks easy but a little too simple to really hold your attention, kind of falls apart at the end

 

 

 

 

Good presentation of the brew: light orange color, and good head retention.

On the nose and palate, it's smooth and juicy. The dank flavors often associated with Citra are very much in the background; this beer is really all about the orange and pineapple juice flavors. Good malt backbone as well.

This is the best beer I've had by Due South by a mile. I've not been a fan of their hoppy creations so far, but this one I would gladly order on tap.

 

 

Fantastic. It taste like there's orange peels in this. The hops balances things well. Usually Id take more notes about color, smell etc but I crushed this before I had the chance. A great single hopped apa in my opinion.

Suppose I need to review this one because the score is completely skewed by one other reviewer's obviously off can. Other ratings seem to be more in line with my experience.

A medium light bodied, nicely citrusy APA, very crisp and dry overall. Moderately low bitterness, generally very drinkable. Simple, fresh, and nicely hoppy, avoids the total one-dimensionality of many session strength pales and IPA. Enjoyed at the beach which likely aided my score a tad.
