33cl bottle from Kihoskh. slightly hazy orange looking with a white head. Aroma is citrus and grapefruit, grassy notes. Flavor is mostly grapefruit and citrus like notes, also more sweeter notes noticeable. Harshness in the finish lower the points a little. medium body. Despite the harshness, quite an enjoyable beer.

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.

On bottle, thanks Alexcg Golden. Slightly hazy, good foam. Medium body and high complexity. Distinct hops (piney) Very enjoyable

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.

330ml brown bottle. Deep orange pour, light haze, super creamy and large whitish cap. Nice lacy striations in the glass. Nose has some malt sweetness, orange peel hop notes, light fruitiness (peach or melon). Sweet malt taste, big citrus notes, moderate bitterness. Hoppy aftertaste, a little lingering malt. Pleasant IPA all around.

Pours a dark orange. Seeing a little sediment here too. Possibly too old of a bottle. Has a more DIPA aroma to it. Not getting much orange or lemon here. The taste has a sharp bitterness that really sticks to the roof of the mouth. Getting some lemon peel notes on the sides of my tongue. I will need to review a fresher version of this.

Was wondering about Citra hops. This is milder than I anticipated. Poured with a huge, billowy, foamy, frothy, fluffy, cream-colored head that lasts all the way down and plenty of lace. Color is a clear copper orange amber with lots of bubble trails. Aroma is so mild I can hardly sensey it - but ls malt, caramel, hop, citrus, hint pineapple and bare hint resin. Flavors like nose and likewise mild, fairly dry, perfectly proportionally balanced bitter and carbonic tang. Body and carbonation are spot on. Finish is like flavor, fairly short, and extremely drinkable.

Yay! Bitterness! Hazy almost cloudy orange stuff in my glass with a rather large bubbly tan head that simmers to a cover and leaves my glass filthy. The nose is not as crazy as I’d smelled in other citra based ipa’s but it still smells good. Orange peels, lemon and lime, caramel and sweet melon on the backside. I do like melons. The flavor is pretty sharp with a stiff citrus punch to the taste buds all the way through. Spices (whatever they are, not quite peppery), melon, lemon lime, orange peels, tangy goodness. The bitterness here seems angry at me. Thick carbonation. Missed mentioning the caramel flavor. Long finish. Wasn’t as straight forward as I assumed it would be.

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!!!

Pours a hazy, orange-pink-amber.....with a huge, tight , off-white head.....like a foam mattress topper.... Aroma is tangerine, sugary and hoppy... Flavour is tremendous orange-peel and pine... Quite malty....BIG tastes.... Excellent stuff.
