You're All I Need - Citra
Interboro Spirits and Ales

 

Pours a cloudy orange. Big sweet citrus aroma. Big flavors. Citrus and a papaya bitterness that takes over. Smooth. Very close to being exceptional but not quite.

 

Can to tulip.
The appearance was a pure murky orange to milky yellow chill haze sort of color. Nice finger's worth of white foamy head sliding off delicately to leave a good dose of messy lace.
The aroma had a wonderful blend of pineapple to mango fleshy sweetness up front gently flowing into some sweet citrus and floral hop components.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side while presenting a fair malty biscuity sense about it. Mild aftertaste of sweet citrus, pineapple and mango.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a pretty damn good sipping quality about it but that might be due to the ABV as the dry hopping seems very low in this. Nice low key carbonation moving about. Finishes quite smooth and somewhat creamy.
Overall, if this is dry hopped then I am Mickey Mouse! However, I must admit everything did come across very well!

 

This one pours a nearly chunky and super hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like melon and intense orange rind, with pine, mango, and grapefruit.

This is a massive dirty Citra bomb in the best way. It's pretty bitter, but there's also a huge citrusy and tropical juiciness up front. It's a clean bitterness for the most part, with pine and fruit rind, and some floral tastes too.

This is light bodied, and very drinkable, due to the dry bitterness on the back end.

Interboro doesn't get quite the NYC accolades that you see from OH or Grimm or whoever, but they make absolutely killer beers as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my first beer from Interboro and it was unlike anything I've had. Juicy, almost syrupy body. Flavor is like peach nectar, but not sweet. Very little bitterness from hopps, so unusual for an IPA. The hops translate into many layers of fruity, citrus and faintly floral aromas. Perfectly balanced. Long finish. Somewhat frothy head. Pours very cloudy. Extremely drinkable for an 8% double IPA. I would drink way too many of these if they didn't cost so much. Price puts it out of my reach for all but special ocassions.
