Death Metal Weekend
Track 7 Brewing Co.

Had this at the Bistro 22nd dipa festival in Feb 2022. Then picked up a can of it the next day. Score. The following review is a combined score of that can and draft pour. There wasn't much difference between the servings.

Pours yellow. Has a chill haze aspect to it. 1/4" white head. I'll give it a slight appearance bump based on the name and design. The nose brings a good amount of Citra thereby citrus to ya. What had me confused was the commercial tug job regarding Nelson Sauvin hops. This didn't taste nor smell like it had Nelson's pungent qualities going for it. While I'm here, might as well say the same thing for Strata.

The taste imparts a color by numbers approach to a beer with a cool name. Its a Citra hopped ipa, those do well, biggest hop acreage, all about that life. Tangerine and orange notes, a little bit of passion fruit. Does good hiding the alcohol, there isn't an overtly punishing ibu bitterness level.

Can pour- clear golden straw color with foamy white head leaving significant frosty lacing. Nose is a bit of citrus and some earthy hops, very mild. Taste follows with a bit of sweet malt, some resiny pine and a mild bite on the finish.
