On draught during the Citra release on 02/01/2013. The beer pours a bright copper-orange color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering resinous hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Pours a lovely orange color. Citra aroma hits me first. Delicate orange taste. Mild for an imperial but flat out lovely. Took my time with this one.

Amber in color with a finger of off-white head. Just an awesome hop aroma to this beer. Intense grapefruit, tangerine, and tropical fruit notes along with a light pine. Good bready malt aroma as well. The flavor also has plenty of excellent hop character. Awesome grapefruit and fruit notes with a moderate pine flavor and bitterness. Moderate malt flavor gives a touch of sweetness.
