For our collaboration with Dominion Wine and Beer and Downtown Crown, Citragon, we explore the many angles of Citra. After a big oat base, we used Citra Lupomax, Citra Incognito, and Citra T90’s for the whirlpool with a Citra Lupomax, Citra T45, Citra T90, and a whisper of Citra Terpenes for the dry hop.Pouring a saturated hazy yellow, we get aromas of passion fruit smoothie and Valencia orange wedges, which lead into creamy flavors of fresh squeezed homestyle OJ, mango chunks, pineapple custard, apricot, lychee, and our assorted melon #EQjuice all wrapped up in a smooth melted creamsicle finish and hop forward bite. This beer truly shows off the multiple angles and planes of the Citra hop.

Canned 5/18/23 (5 months ago)
Appearance: Pours a nearly completely hazy (10% clarity) medium to light orange color with a massive white head that lingers. SRM of 7-8. (4.25)
Aroma: Strong aromas of orange citrus, tropical pineapple, mango, lemon. Some tropical berries underneath.
Flavor: Strong flavors of orange citrus, tropical and ripe pineapple, grape and tropical melon. Some overly ripe tropical fruit and berries. Finishes juicy yet slightly sweet. Clean.
Feel: Medium to heavier body, strong carbonation. Juicy get clean and drinkable.
Compared to EQ This Is Your Brain On Science 10/2023: Pours lighter , similar head. Similar aromas and flavors overall. Slightly less orange and tropical notes with dankness. More bright citrus and pineapple. Very similar.
Overall: All sort of Citra in this one apparently. Still tons of citrus flavors with that classic mango skin flavor I get from EQ. Seems to sort of mask all of the other flavors that they describe above. (Rating: 4.14)

The beer pours a nice white and creamy head that lasts for a long while and doesn't really fully go away. The beer itself is an opaque yellow with hints of a light orange.
The smell is pretty good. It has strong notes of tropical fruits such as a light pineapple, bitter dry hop notes, and a light grapefruit.
The taste is delicious. It has the same tropical notes as the smell but that the orange hops come forward and stay through the whole thing. The biggest difference is a sugar orange that comes out as it warms.
The feel is very good. It has a heavy body and light acidity. It has a tingling carbonation to it.
Overall, this is a really good collaboration between Dominion and Equilibrium and worth getting fresh if you can .

On tap:
Murky pale white peach with a stubborn foam head with large bubbles interspersed that doesn’t quite give a spongy impression. Nose hits with a very mild catty frankness, replaced by tangerine and a hint of lemon peel as it warms.
Medium bodied with a level of smoothness that matches its heft. Taste is a bit more dull to start, but opens as expected with warmth, especially with grapefruit pith bitterness. The bitterness drives this beer before it approaches cellar temps, when tangerine and nectarine join in. At this point, I start to get a mix of light pine and coconut mixed with an oat-like wrapper mid-late taste that tends to sweeten things up a bit, though the finish is still pithy bitter.
