Draft, Oct 2025. Poured with limited head but appealing muted orange color. Bright and forward hops, even for an IPA. Limited mouthfeel but fresh as a draft. Enjoyable experience overall and look forward to the next one.

Tall can with 9/14/21 stamped on the bottom.
Poured into a tulip, just the slightest bit of some haze, some delicate ringed sheeting left on the glass.
Mild sniff of some perfumed hop notes along with lime.
Tasty Brew, somewhere between an east coast and west coast style IPA…more of the sniff carrying onto the palate…I get more lime, bright grapefruit, ginger, and some pepper all adding to the complexity.
Worthy and quite enjoyable…

Good brew. Solid drinkable IPA. Good for more than one. Right now I’m in a more varietal flavor mode taste-set. Nothing here to particularly like like OR dislike. Good brew.

9/11/18 on bottom of can. Poured into a Duvel tulip.
A: medium amber with 1-2 finger nearly white head with good retention and ample sticky lacing.
S: aroma is light with balance of light caramel malt and nondescript floral hop character.
T: balanced ipa with even amounts of light verging on medium caramel maltiness cut with relatively low intensity floral and pineapple flavors.
M: smooth feel with medium body and carbonation with dry finish
O: not bad, just not what I am expecting in a beer highlighting Citra by the name. Too much caramel malt character and hip profile is dampened in both aroma and flavor departments.

Pours into an impy nonic a clear lighter golden with a sticky white top.Grassy and herbal hops stand out most in the nose,there is a slight citric tinge but more grassy than anything to me.Somewhat pedestrian on the palate,leafy with underlying pine and quite dry wich I do like.The mouthfeel is nice with low carbonation,man this is close to being great...As is easy to drink and quite good.
