Citrus actually suppresses the hops here, which is interesting. Restrained and mellow, lemon-limey ipa.

On tap at DFW airport.
Poured unfiltered gold orange with a near white head that left rings of lacing.
The taste is as advertised; lots of citrus flavors that ride alongside the bitter hops. Quite well balanced in that regard. Malts are obviously present but played a supporting role at best.
The feel, well, slightly more body than water, which makes it really easy to gulp.
OA, if I were more into IPAs, I might look to get this one in a trade or something.

Bright gold pour with a decent head of foam. Citrusy, fruity hop aroma, appropriately. Taste up front is overwhelmingly tropic fruity hops, with some lightly sweet malt. Is there actual citrus peel behind this? It's hard to tell behind the strong hoppy presence, unlike in a witbier or something. The hops overwhelm it. Still, it's a decent beer.

Pours a slightly unfiltered orange color with a fluffy white head that provides lacing all the way down the glass. Beautiful beer.

The nose is rife with fresh citrus, especially mandarin orange and lemon zest, and that is exactly where the taste lands, with a medium, dry mouthfeel providing a very easy drinking, refreshing beer.

 

 

 

Another from the Community variety 12 pack that was obtained December 2020.

Yet again we have an ipa with a darker than average appearance. Thankfully this is less malty in appearance (and execution) than their Mosaic ipa. Has a light amber appearance. 1/3" white head. Orange zest I think influenced the darkness as the subsequent malt body in the mouthfeel/taste section will indicate. Multitudes of citrus zest about, some Citra hops, yes, this is a very much citrus forward aroma beer.

Taste comes out not as malty as one would think, good carbonation, brisk zesting of citrus rind give it a more levity like approach. Lemon, citron, orange, all here. Relatively dry finish aided by the zest. The body is pretty light despite the color appearance. Only a light caramel aspect to it, thankfully.

This might have been my fave of the 12er. I'm not much of a fruited ipa fan, but the zesting, when done right, can be enjoyable like this product was, even if not life shattering or affirming.

 

 

 

Dark gold, slightly hazy with a large white head that lasts and lasts.
Smells mostly of lemon but I can also smell some orange, not overly aromatic.
The taste is where I can really get more of the various citrus flavors, such as lemon, mandarin orange, and a little grapefruit.
Mouthfeel is surprisingly light, I’d even say it’s on the dry side. Very refreshing without any overly malty sweetness.
I saw a couple of low reviews of this beer and I wouldn’t put much stock in them, they obviously aren’t very experienced with beer styles other than Bud light.

Poured from a can into a pint glass

Appearance – The beer pours a clear orange-amber color with a huge head of puffy white foam. The head has a fantastic level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave a ton of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell – The aroma of the brew is massive of a sweet orange juice smell mixed with some lighter notes of tropical fruit (tangerine, mango, and pineapple). Along with these smells comes a little bit of a grapefruit hop smell as well as a touch of earthiness and herb. Overall, the smell is quite sweet and inviting.

Taste – The taste begins with a sweeter tropical fruit and citrus flavor of orange, tangerine, mango and pineapple that is backed by some cracker and a bit of bread. Right from the start there is a moderate showing of some grapefruit hop mixed with a touch of herb. As the taste advances the sweeter tastes all remain relatively constant, but the hop changes, with the grapefruit hop getting slightly weaker while the herb and a bit of pine grow a bit stronger. A little bit of hay comes at the very end, and with the mix of other flavors, it leaves one with a rather pleasant citrusy taste to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and chewiness with a carbonation level that is rather average as well. A slightly higher carbonation level may have been better for the mix of sweet citrus and hoppy citrus, but all said the feel was pretty decent and made for an easy sipping brew.

Overall – A rather tasty citrus heavy IPA. Easy drinking and enjoyable overall.
