330ml bottle. Pours a hazy medium amber, with a large off-white head, which lasts well and leaves good lacing. Sweet orange and mango notes, combined with a touch of lemon and some caramel malt make up the aroma. An initial sweet orange flavour is overcome by potent lemon and grapefruit hops, which move into a smooth caramel malt body, with some pleasant hints of mango. Orange and mango, combined with more citric hops create a nicely bitter finish, with a lingering fruity aftertaste. This is one of the best IPAs I have tried from this series: the fruitiness of Citra hops works very well with the base beer.

Overall a good beer, got lime, citrus, orange peel, and fruit salad sweets not to bitter but a little thin in the mouth.

Flaske: Som med sorachien viser denne øl virkelig citra humlen fra sin bedste side. Orangegul klar øl med et stort skumhoved.God duft af citra. Smagen er frisk og er en fornøjelse. God øl.

De Bierkoning, Amszterdam. Igen ködös, ragyogó narancssárga színe van, mint a lemenő napnak. Habja hófehér, nagyon tömör, hatalmas, kemény, mint a kő és egy triatlonista kitartásával rendelkezik. Még ezen a habpáncélon is simán áttör ez a brutál gyümölcsös, ananászos, mandarinos, édeskés és fenyőrügyes illat. Íze hozza az illat alapján elvártakat, nagyon citrusos, ananászos, kecskecsöcsű szőlős, édeskés, ami hirtelen fordul át egy nyelvcsavaró keserűségbe és mintha egy friss rügyekkel teli borókafenyő ágat rágcsálnánk. Könnyű teste van és apró buborékokkal rendelkezik, amit nem túloztak el benne. Utóíze keserédes, vérnarancsos és a legvége nagyon száraz, de marad benne egy kis édeskésség is. Azt hiszem , hogy megtaláltam az egyik kedvenc komlómat. Viva la Citra!

Bottle. Burnished golden, hazy, large lasting head. Aroma is bright, full of citrus and guava. Flavours of citrus fruit on sweet malt, floral notes, nice clean bitter finish.

Bottle,. Cloudy deep orange with a massive, creany, mostly lasting off-white head. Aroma is lovely citrusy, flowery, sweet caramel malty. Marvelous. Flavor is sweet makty, light heavy bitter, with citrus, flowery notes. Delicious mouthfeel, medium body.

Hazy copper body and beautiful off white head. Super rich floral and orange flavour, with spices and a solid doughy base as well. Not sharp at all but rather a strong refined hoppyness. Smooth drink and powerful bitterness combined. Lovely mouthfeel too, but it’s overall just a showcase for this brilliant hop variety. Great brew. (33cl bottle, bit expensive here)

Draft @ Rezas 3 små rum in Gotenburg: Hazy red colour, with a nice white head. Aroma is citrus, flowery, some hony and citrus ending. Flavor: A big fruity/citrus "Bomb" mouth feeling!! Orange, sweet maltynes and caramelly, Long fruity finish, and a medium nice body! Nice!!!

Shared a 330ml bottle with Doug at the Bayou. Huge tangerine/citrus nose, floral qualities, bready malts, very clean, bitterness is form but not over powering. A great beer show casing this great hop.

Bottle at the bayou. Pours a murky orange color with a large white head. A rich nose of a citrus bouquet, lemon, oranges. A sweet semi bitter ipa. Oranges, lemons, lingers with bitterness. Rich, big. Nice palate. Clean.
