    I reviewed Green Flash's Hop Odyssey Citra Session IPA yesterday and noticed that they also have a very similar beer listed on BeerAdvocate called Citra Session Ale. Here are the two listings:
    The "Citra Session Ale" was first entered in June 2010 and had 10 ratings up until August 2012. Since June 2013, it's had 72 additional ratings. Meanwhile, the "Hop Odyssey: Citra Session IPA" was entered in June 2013 and has 69 ratings. The spike in reviews after June 2013 for both beers seems to coincide with the release of the Citra Session IPA as part of Green Flash's Hop Odyssey series.

    Does anyone know if these two beers are the same or different? I'm not sure if the "Citra Session Ale" was an APA and people are currently rating it because it has a similar name or it was the same beer and re-released as part of Green Flash's Hop Odyssey series. I tried doing some research and noticed that the "Citra Session Ale" was served at San Diego Beer Week 2010 and Green Flash's 8th Anniversary Festival in 2010, although I couldn’t find any mention of the beer's style or abv.

    I assumed they are the same. What an awesome beer this is.
