Kern river citra. How is it this year?

Awesome!!! both on tap and out of the bottle..superb beer

 

Amazing...as good as its always been. Had a draft at the release and drank a bunch during the Super Bowl. Super tasty!

 

Had sooooo much on tap it is the best batch they have ever made i didnt think it could get better, but alas i left my house toooooo late and didnt get any bottles damn damn

 

Ya u did....lol...its just as good if not better than years past, had younger yesterday and still like citra better...

 

To me it seems to have a fuller mouth-feel than the last batch I had. Although it's been a while, so I can't be sure. Great on tap and from the bottle.

 

I have done a side by side of Pliny, Heady and Citra. Citra won by a slight margin over pliny with Heady bringing up the rear. Everybody has different tastes, so my opinion doesn't matter to the next guy, but that is how I have them rated.

 

I'm heading out to San Francisco at the end of the month. Is it obtainable in that area?

 

No this is a brewery only beer. The bottles are gone now.

 

I'm not necessarily a huge IPA/DIPA fan, and I thought it was absolutely amazing. Missed out on bottles by about 8-10 people on friday (thanks a-hole line cutters!) but drank my fill in pints that day and it was one of the best beers I've ever tasted.

 

Quite simply its the best batch of CITRA ever...and not because its the most recent.

Also, it will be on tap at the SFBW Dbl IPA Fest this Saturday if your interested in trying it.

 

Ah-May-Zing! Better than last batch (IMO) but I still like the very first batch the best. Had it on tap day one at the brewery alongside with JO with "Mosaic Hops" on cask! Didn't know which one to get next. So I got me the Class X. I brought along a growler of Beachwoods BBQ Amalgamator IPA(w/ Mosaic Hops) for sharing. A bottle of KBS made an appearance as well. And a few other's I don't remember. Went back to the brewery for the evening (Fri) session. Had a glass of Dirty Hippie (I wish they had bottles to take home). No growler fills of Hippie. And 2 more pints of Citra before calling it quits that evening. Had it out of the bottle Sat after getting back home. During Super Bowl Sunday (2 bottles shared among family) and shared another bottle at BW SB yesterday. All said and done I have less bottles than when I left the southern Sierra's sitting in my fridge right now.

 

I can get both Pliny & Pig online shipped to me, shame can't get this. Alpine Nelson is up there as well

 

Everyone else would love to get Citra shipped to them also

 

Shit moving it even just to Bakersfield would be nice. Kernville is a bitch to get to.

 

Anyone else have bottles from the last batch and not impressed? I got three bottles and they were all cloudy, and did not live up to my expectation. I've had Citra about 4 different times, some bottles and some on draft.

 

I have never had a Citra that wasn't cloudy. They don't vorlouf, so appearance isn't on their radar. But this batch did seem a little fruitier, wondering if they used some Mosaic hops in it at all.

 

Not really.

 

Still delicious after 2 weeks. No clouds. Just Citra-licious!!

 

It was very good, but not as good as Younger or Hop Venom this year. Last years Citra was better than last year's Younger, and IMO better than this year's Citra. I've only had it at GHS each year.
