Citra Situation
Ambler Beer Company

 

 

 

Golden yellow in color with a heavy haze. Poured with a short, white foam with medium low retention. Sharp citra citrus aromas with ripe orange , light honey and medium malty notes. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Light creamy feel with boozy warmth that gets a little prickly at the end. Similar to aromas, sharp citrus flavors up front with orange notes. Medium pine hop bitterness through the middle followed by fruity citrus to the end. Finished with light citrus notes followed by mellow, lingering, piney bitterness. Fruity character and light maltiness nicely balances the intense citra hops. Drinks like a little like a West Coast IPA visiting the Northeast.
