Pint pour on draught at the brewery. Served in a shaker glass. It pours a murky, pale, grassy-yellow with a thin, ecru-colored cap and soapy lacing. The smell is fragrant and includes notes of lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, a whiff of red berry, and soft floral hops. Its taste opens tart and bitter with abundant lemon peel and grapefruit rind over a firm, cracker malt base. The Strata hops contribute their telltale dank grassy, herbal, weedy notes. As it warms there is just a hint of red berry sweetness. This ale has a lite, crisp mouth feel with pleasant carbonation, and the 6.5% ABV permits easy drinking. Overall, the hop bill of Citra and Strata is simple but effective. It's tasty and satisfying.
