Citra Mon
New Glory Craft Brewery

 

 

 

 

From the 3/16/18 can release

Appearance - Pours hazy and orange in color with a white, half finger's width head. Good retention, resulting in a thin, consistent layer of suds. Not much for lacing except a few small spots and a broken line or two.

Smell - The aroma is citrusy with lesser pineapple and a hint of white bread sweetness.

Taste - Not quite as enticing as the nose, with a more subdued citrus flavor and almost no pineapple that the nose hinted to. Generic white bread sweetness completes the profile, and the finish finds a fair but simple amount of citrus sweetness and acidity.

Mouthfeel - Light-to-medium in body with fair, tingly carbonation. Smooth drinker with an easy finish.

Overall - I'm not a huge fan of single hop brews, and this one is not an exception. It's a nice drinker, and there's a good amount of flavor here, but I don't find anything of much interest.

The beer pours out a slightly hazy medium gold color with 1 finger of white head-------------- the aromas are of oranges, dank weed, sweet mellon and basil----------- the flavors are of oranges, white bread ,stone fruit, grapefruit and lesser pine, the beer has a thin to medium mouthfeel with a light bitterness on the finish-------------- overall this was a delisious pale ale, there was so much citra oozing out the glass with tons of citrus and stone fruit finishing with some pine, wile at the same time it maintained its drinkableity, this is a fucking crusher

Can from 3/16/18 into a tulip glass.

L: Pours slightly hazy orange bronze with nearly 2 fingers of sticky variable density white head with moderate retention and left some mixed lacing.

S: Nose is bright, competing tropical and citrus. Elements of tangerine, mango, nectarine, and grapefruit. Very subtle hints of breadiness once it's warm.

T: Less interesting and dynamic than the nose. Follows the aroma to a good degree, perhaps with more citrus prominence. Finishes with mild bitterness and slight astringency, clears palate fairly quickly.

F: Low-medium bodied, medium carbonation, slight tingling of the tongue from carbonation, slick on the tongue and finish.

O: It's a well-crafted beer, but there's many other superior APAs out there. For Citra single-hopped, I'd take PseudoSue any day over this without hesitation.
