Oaked Citra-Sauvin Pilsener brewed for GABS festival in Melbourne, May 2014.
Pours a straw colour, slightly cloudy with large bubbly head, retains well. Nice-looking pils.
Smells fruity, like citra. Yeah, smells like citra. Mango, peach character with a touch of banana. Maybe a touch of wood as well. Mostly just citra.
Taste is better-rounded, and just better generally. Touch of rye spice to the upfront malt, possibly just a precursor of the spicy wood notes that tend to dominate the back. Banana, touch of grapefruit bitterness. Finishes quite bitter. I kind of want to like it more, but I don't, sadly.
Thin body, quite fizzy. OK for the style.
Doesn't really do it for me. Could use some sweeter oak character, and maybe a touch more sauvin to balance the citra.
