Citra & (El Dorado)
BKS Artisan Ales

Pours an opaque orange with a semi-pale saturation. Head is two fingers of dense white foam. Aroma is grapefruit, tangerine, and guava with a sugary sweet onset that quickly fades. Flavor profile is tangerine, orange zest, grapefruit, and minor notes of guava. A little quick in secession. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a low pile, lacking creaminess texture. Overall, a little dainty for the ABV, but otherwise good hop notes.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

A - Super hazy body, mostly opaque, dingy light orange body, extensive off-white head, with lots of thin line lacing.

S - Pungent nose of peach and orange citrus, a bit of hop resin sharpness.

T - Lush juiciness in the open, starting tangerine, sliding toward peach and stone fruit, mango and pineapple, and a bit of grass and floral notes lingering with bright citric acidity in the close.

M - Mild carbonation, moderate weight but quite drinkable, and a lightly acidic spikiness in the finish that scrubs and clears the tongue for the next drink.

O - So tasty, with extraordinarily bright fruit, lovely drinkability, and a satisfying snap that keeps the brew clean and crisp. I would put this in regular rotation if it were local for me.
