Sim-Citra
Alpha Acid Brewing Co.

Serving: 16 oz pour into a branded nonic pint glass at the brewery.

Appearance: Hazy, pale yellow with a lush head of white foam and streaky lace.

Smell: Dank pine forest, grapefruit, and tropical fruit.

Taste: Lime zest, tropical fruit and resinous hops ease into a crisply bitter close.

Mouthfeel: Medium body, creamy smooth feel and moderate carbonation.

Overall: Nicely balanced hazy that’s juicy while still packing a healthy bitter kick.

Bright yellow hazy body, finger of white head and decent lacing. First impression of the nose is dankness and pine, grapefruit, melon, and peach slowly open up after. Taste starts juicy and surprisingly sweet, add some lime zest and lemon nectar to the fruit from the nose, but the finish rounds it out well with dank resin and pine hops. Feel is slightly juicy before reverting to the typical ipa hop textures, bright and well balanced with a kiss of resin. Good all around

A: The beer is rather hazy pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of grapefruit and gooseberries are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of lime citrus; the gooseberry flavors linger into the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA does a nice job at combining the aromas/flavors of citrus and gooseberries. It's somewhat like a hybrid between an IPA and a New England IPA.

Serving type: can
