Our Waimea party started last summer with Green (Simcoe) and later Pink (Nelson Sauvin) - this time it's Citra bringing that Orange. Expect vibes of nectarines, mangos and papayas.

Beer poured a hazy medium golden dull orange with an okay white head.
Nose is very nice, citrus and tropical fruit forward.
Taste is a light but substantive pale malt base that allows the hops to shine thru and that they do. Very flavorful with orange, papaya, and mango shining through. Finishes with a touch of grapefruit and some major pith; 7/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is ultra-light and very refreshing.

Copper colored with a very hazy complexion. There’s an inch of densely packed creamy beige on top. Lightly soapy lacing. The aroma is of earthy to citrus and green veggies. I’m tasting citrus and green veggies. The mouth is very resinous.
