Citra Tactics
Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse

Picked up a 4 pack from Craft last Summer (2020).

Pours a cloudy yellow/orange/amber. 1/2" white head. The aroma definitely kicks down the citrus-ness of the Citra hop, and this one comes off sweeter than average. Candied orange, tangerine and like, zero grapefruit out of the nose.

Taste is again, a sweeter experience, literally. Its not like lactose sweet, but it just carries some kind of pedigree like the sweetest unsweetened dipa you'll come across kind of vibe. Of course there is still plenty of that orange grove perpetuating itself through the entire aroma, taste and mouth feel spectrum. While hitting the hazy ipa designation, it didn't seem like it was all that flaked out in the mouthfeel, just a standard (good) amount of bitterness that I look for in a hoppy beer.

Still not sure why I was perceiving more sweetness than normal, but I still liked the beer plenty. Those milkshake lactose fruited ipas never do it for me. This did.

 

Poured from a can - murky and turbid dark&dirty lemonade with quickly receding white head leaving strands of frosty lacing. Nose is a whole lotta citra going on. Taste follows with a creamy finish. The 'tactics' IPA's do not disappoint.
