Citra 8.3% version
Poured from 16oz can into pint glass in January 2023. There was no canned date on the label or can, and I drank this about 2 months after purchase at their Hamilton Street location.
Appearance: Medium gold color with 2-finger white head. It is a bright and has a very hazy complexion, like other NE IPAs. Head is very thick, and it lasts a minute time, leaving a small covering. There is a medium amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma filled the room while the beer was being poured. Strong aroma of citrus like grapefruit, pine, and hops, as well as some sweetness like pineapple. Also, a little earthy or straw aroma. Overall, the citrus aroma dominates the other aromas.
Taste: Sweet taste with a some bitter hops edge. There is also a nice malt sweetness as well. There is a typical hops and citrus flavor, but with some sweetness as well. This is bitter like most other New England IPAs, but it is very well-balanced and not too bitter. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a long time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.
Mouthfeel: Thick feel with a medium-strong body, which makes this very drinkable. Medium-Strong alcohol, which matches the 8.3% listed.
This is a good and interesting NE-IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, grapefruit, hops, malt, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. I like the overall balance, and that the citrus flavors are pronounced but do not dominate the flavor. It has similar hop edge as with other IPAs, but this is smoother and better balanced. I would like to drink this again, and hope to travel back to their brewery.
