Citronious
Calusa Brewing

 

An excellent IPA!

 

Pours a hazy murky golden color. 2 finger white head - though I dropped the can before the pour from the couch. 2 finger white head. God retention. some lacing on the glass.
The nose is a citrus nose. Pineapple, grapefruit, mango.
taste - Good citrus flavor. Not overboard with the flavor. Mango, and pineapple, but mostly grapefruit.
Decent body. Somewhat soft. Crisp feeling. Maybe dry feeling.
Delicious IPA.

 

 

 

Reviewed from notes. Poured from the 16 oz. can into an El Catador Barrel-Aged glass. Just released in cans the day I'm reviewing this one.

A: Turbid gold with orange highlights. A finger's worth of white head with decent retention. A low amount of visible carbonation, but as noted this is very hazy.

S: Tropical fruit and melons, oranges and citrus rind. A touch spice hops, and a touch of berries. Cracker malts, and I swear you can smell the light oat addition. Nice aroma.

T: Tropical fruits, tangerine whip, and melons. A bit dank hops, then cracker malts and still the light oaty character. More melon and citrus juiciness. Modestly bitter at the swallow – and more melon juiciness with some more dank.

M: An average body for a "hazy IPA" or whatever we're calling this style. Good carbonation sensation, and the alcohol is well hidden.

O: Really pretty damn tasty. I do like it better than the Citronious Shake but I think that’s just my personal preference. A really nice juiciness with still enough bitterness to keep things interesting. This can hold its own with any NE IPA that's made in Florida. Very well done.

This is the best beer ive ever had. Perfect amount of citrus and mouthfeel. ABV is a perfect amount for me as I find beers over 7% to be boozy and not enjoyable to actually drink. DEAR CALUSA - make this your flagship and not focus. Much more drinkable and flavorful!

 

 

 

Hazy though not as hazy as Focus.

Aromas of sweaty peach and orange.

Flavors are fairly one noted with OJ and pith, but very green and grainy. Grapefruit, white wine, bitter resin.

Feel is creamy but less than focus.

Overall I like Focus better. Both are great beers.

 

Hazy IPA packed with citrus and hops. Juice bomb!

 

 

On-tap at Caluso Brewing, Sarasota, FL

A: The beer is very cloudy yellow in color and poured with a minimal white head that left a patch of bubbles in the center and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has strong flavors of citrus—lemony hops seem to stand out in particular. There is a slight amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. No crispness is detectable.
O: This is a very nice New England-style IPA that is packed with citrusy aromas and flavors and is hardly bitter at all. It is very easy to drink.
