16oz can served in a Monhegan glass. Can is dated 03/27/24.

Pours hazy light amber, small head (1cm or so), lots of fine active carbonation. Smell is screaming citra hops, right from cracking the seal. Citrus rind and cut leaves. Very bright. Very nice.

Taste is also very bright citrus rind. Like the aroma, it has a character I associate with citra hops, but that's not a very useful description. Moves to a more orange zest flavor.

Mouthfeel is very dry and pretty light. Very easy to drink, very tasty beer.

 

 

 

Can from the brewery in Salem, CT. Pours a hazy yellow/gold with a finger of white head that sticks around, nice lacing; smell is candied orange peel, orange slices, orange frosting, orange blossom, frozen orange juice concentrate, hints of white grape must and vegetal/green woody flesh; taste follows the nose with zesty orange peel, orange flesh, orange juice, orange sponge cake, orange hard candy, hints of coconut and pineapple, dank pithy bitterness on the finish; feel is medium bodied, creamy carbonation, dry finish. Orange for days and a dank tropical twist, one of the best Citra beers I’ve had in a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

16 oz can poured into a tulip pint glass. Pours light orange with a rocky off-white head. Aroma and flavor feature juicy citrus (orange, grapefruit), mild bitterness, a hint of dank onion/garlic, atop a smooth, wheaty malt base. Mouthfeel is smooth, moderately carbonated, and juicy with no hint of booziness. This stands out in a great way from the sea of undifferentiated NEIPAs. I would gladly drink this again and regret only purchasing a single can.

Pours a superhazed gold with 2 fingers of fluffed up pearl colored head. Above average head retention & lacing

S: Citrus, Mangoes & Guava, Green melon once warm

T: Oranges, limes, green melons & passion fruit up front. Dryness asserts as this warms, along with pineapple, green melon, passion fruit & lime. Finishes with lime, green melon, pineapple & a little powdery dryness

MF: Medium body, restrained carbonation that picks up once warm, great balance

Well done, very drinkable. This would be in the rotation if locally available
