Citra Dream
New Glory Craft Brewery

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours a hazy, opaque yellow color with a sticky, one-finger foam head.

Aroma: Tropical and citrus fruit. Lemon and orange peel. Orange candy and hints of grapefruit. Vaguely grassy.

Taste: Tart orange and lemon peel up front, some pineapple notes, and bready, buscuity malts. The bitter finish subsides into a lingering breadiness. A thick, frothy mouthfeel.

Overall: An alcoholic’s breakfast lol. The aroma really stuck out for me. Medium drinkability only because of the sweetness. This is one interesting brew nonetheless.

 

Simple yet yummy. Mouth feel is low in carbonation but ultra smooth (like SunnyD). Good stuff!

16 oz can, canned 2/16/22. Pours very hazy yellow with a big frothy white head that retains fairly well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet wheat malt with fruity resiny hops.

The flavor is sweet wheat malt with some fruit and pretty dank resiny hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, a nice hoppy NE IPA.

Waited until the last one to review it. Gave the first one a 4.00 on Untappd, writing “Outstanding for now. Probably in 4.10-4.15 range. Full review later.” Description was “Citra, Citra and more Citra! If you need more information, then read on. First, we started with a nice malt foundation featuring UK Maris Otter, and then we added heaps of Citra Hops during the boil and whirlpool. We continued the Citra overload by adding Citra TWO separate times during fermentation (with our expressive yeast might we add) and then one final Citra dry hop addition to tie a bow on things. Some might call that triple dry hopped, but we don't concern ourselves with titles, just our beer. This beer is unfined and unfiltered! Come dream with us with our Citra Dream IPA.”

Poured a light golden hazy color with 2-to-3 fingers of white frothy head. Fairly calm setting underneath the head. World-class uneven spiderweb lacing. Outstanding retention. (Sight - 4.50)

Smelled bit Citra, lemon peel, grapefruit, orange rind, peach, stone fruit and papaya. (Smell - 4.25)

Taste wasn’t as good as the nose but still outstanding. Got big Citra, lemon peel, grapefruit, orange rind, candied orange, peach, stone fruit and papaya. (Taste - 4.00)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Clean, citrusy finish. (Feel - 4.25)

About as good as I thought. Outstanding. (Overall - 4.00)

From a can. Pours a white gold. Thin foam. The aroma is unmistakably citra, with a touch of berries and citrus on the sip. A hint of minerality finished the beer out. New Glory is solid.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden yellow amber with a frothy off white head that laces nicely.

S: Juicy tropical and stone fruit, nice hit of citrus, faintly grassy, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

T: Vibrant mix of tropical, stone fruit, and citrus, mango, pineapple, apricot, orange, passion fruit, peach, lemon, and lime, slightly grassy, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body with a little chew, moderate carbonation.

O: Really well done Citra showcase.

*Aroma: Gorgeous tropical, guava, mild hops
*Looks: Light yellowish super-lite lemony, good head that sticks around long
*Taste: Very balanced IPA, refreshing, that’s not too hoppy, mild hops, has an almost bready after-taste that’s complex in a very good way! If “Weihenstephaner” the best German Brewery on Planet made an IPA, it would taste like Citra Dream. Book it. I do not say it lightly. I just had Pliny The Elder and find Citra Dream IPA as good as that!
*OVERALL* One of the best, refreshing, criminally under-rated IPA from our great California.

Been glad to see these guys bringing more beer to our area. Keeping it fresh too, just picked this up at the grocery with just 3 weeks in the can!

Nice mellow citra beer, more like a hybrid hazy pale ale than the neipa its categorized as here.
Murky pineapple juice appearance with a mellow.but matching smell. Taste carries some tart pineapple hints but is more heavily in the tangerine/orange spectrum. Sweet and soft bodied with enough bitterness and a clean finish making for a very drinkable beer.
Good stuff

Poured from a can - hazy and murky lemon yellow juice with white head leaving some frosty lacing. Nose is citrus and tropical fruit . Taste follows with hints of resiny pine ,flavor fades quickly. Finish is a bit thin and soft but quite refreshing.

Kinda like drinking extra pulp orange juice. Hazy and unfiltered.
Huge citrus flavor that fades quickly. Found it to be quite refreshing. and worthy of at least one more.

A good beer, but haze is very gritty. Almost like eating the ribs of a fruit. It’s full bodied and filling, but not as smooth as other New England IPAs. Slurp!

 

Very juicy. Fragrant hops.
