A natural continuation of our fog fetishist tendencies. 100% unadulterated Citra mayhem. Hefty loads of our Hand-Selected Citra & Citra Cryo from this past harvest, along with our favorite lot of Citra from yesteryear. Fully sending it with our forever favorite. Citra, Citra, Citra.

Cloudy, orange color with a medium-sized, white head. Grapefruit, melon, pineapple, and malt in the aroma. Moderately sweet, juicy taste with a bitterness kick at the end.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of orange, grapefruit, pineapple and resin. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bite.

A-Poured in imperial pint glass a finger of quickly dissipating white head atop a murky dark yellow brew
S-where’s the citra? Notes of overripe citrus is about all I can make out of the citra. There is a honey-like sweetness that is the prominent aroma.
T-A fruity, malty sweet beer. Very ripe clementines with Clover honey Notes and lots of sweetness
M-Sweetness that covers the booze. Fairly light mouthfeel for the abv.
O-Overly sweet and lacking the citra aroma and taste is was hoping for.

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberries are present in the nose along with notes of grapefruit.
T: The taste follows the smell but the taste has more balanced flavors of gooseberries and grapefruit.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA is packed with lots of aromas and flavors of Citra hops.

Can. White head with lace. Hazy sunset orange.

A bit bitter yet. Still soft and juicy. Orange and clementine citrus floral and earthy. Still pretty drinkable, but hoping this gets a bit better. I’ve enjoyed other BS triples more, but this is still fairly fresh.

Pours a dense dank cloudy golden yellow color with a 1 finger head. Smell is dank with citra,mango,grapefruit. Taste is all citra lots of mango and grapefruit also some lime and berries sweet malt in the finish. Mouth feel is soft with some dry bitterness from the hopping, ABV well hidden but your will feel it, had too much sweetness on finish is my only complaint but it is a 3IPA.
