What began in 2017 as our inaugural 16 oz. can release has become an annual release celebrated each winter. Slopes re-open every year at the start of February.
This 100% Citra Double India Pale Ale is brewed with concentrated Citra Cryo Hops, and Double Dry-Hopped with more Citra at a rate of 3 lbs. per barrel.
The result is a full-bodied 8.0% ABV offering with a clean, dry finish and a tightrope balance of the dank, juicy, and citrusy flavors that made Citra famous.

Cloudy and pale like a New England IPA. Nice foamy head. Pineapple and orange on the nose. Taste is hoppy with assorted citrus, slightly bitter on the finish with hops and citrus rind
