Citra-Tasm
ZümBier

 

Poured from a bomber into a tulip. Batch number 53 is on the bottle but I can't determine the bottling date from the brewery website. The appearance is a deep, hazy amber color that looks really good, on par with some of the best unfiltered IPAs on the market. Excellent ivory colored head and adequate lacing. Smell seems to be less hops and more of malts, and the same goes for taste. I've had quite a few citra-hopped beers, Pseudo Sue and Zombie Dust within the last week, and I do not get the citra hop flavor from this beer. Much more malt than I would have anticipated from a beer named Citra-tasm. Mouth feel is very good, great carbonation level.

Overall I would have liked this to have been more hoppy than it was. Maybe this was an older bottle, but I definitely did not pick up on the citra hops. It was a good beer, and I'll give it another try if I can determine exactly when it was bottled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very nice showcase of citra hops. Citrusy and tropical with the slightest hint of pine and sugary malt.
