Tossing Seeds: Citra
Lost Nation Brewing

 

Orange color and a fizzy white foam. Citra hop oil hits the nose, and gives this beer a orange flavor, and a quite robust finish. Typical bold IPA out of New England, and nice to pair with some BBQ.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a can dated 10/16/18 into the test glass
A - Murky lemon drop colored, gently carbonated. A modest pour yields a loose knit froth of white.
Lacing is cirrus in display.
S - Get those tropical notes, papaya, orange reduction, some unsulphured dry pineapple.
T - Follows the nose well, add a sweet and solid malt base, and the picture is complete.
M - Medium in body, soft on the palate, carbonation is not prickly.
O - A very good IIpa, the structure is quite good, the tropical elements could use a touch of bitterness.

Poured into a 13 oz Funk Brewing Teku glass canned on 10/16/18. Pours a hazy yellow with a nice half inch white head that leaves plenty of thin webs of lace.

Smell is papaya, passionfruit, pineapple, and a hint of grapefruit.

Taste follows tropical front to back papaya, passionfruit stand out most with pineapple in grapefruit in the slightly bitter finish.

Mouthfeel is a big medium, soft gentle carbonation, not dry but a tad sticky, and at 8% ABV easy drinking.

Overall this is a very nice NEDIPA, very happy I got to try this gem.

16 oz. can.
Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a hazy golden straw colored body with some sticky lacing. Nose of tropical fruit and dank citrus. Taste mirrors nose nicely with a citrus pith bitterness on the finish. Very nice feel and overall, it's great to see this in a can and distributed in Vermont. Cheers to the boys of Mo'ville, VT!

They're canning this now.
Luckily, I got this for free.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice thick yellow-ed orange paper pale cloudy color. A small white foamy head started and slid off fairly quick. Some messy films of lace wound around the glass.
The aroma had a soft sweet ruby red grapefruit pulpy character flowing over a light dose of blended white pepper to pine, slightly zesty yet spicy.
The flavor was moderately sweet with an ample amount of spicy and zesty Citra hops clamping down and biting in the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation - actually fairly low like a New England styled DIPA. Really nice finish with the grapefruit sweet juice, white pepper and bitter pine.
Overall, a very nicely done New England styled DIPA well worthy of coming back to.
