COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This single hop ale showcases the Citra hop. Named for the largest T-rex fossil ever discovered, she roars with ferocious aromas of grapefruit, citrus, mango and evergreen. Delicate in body with a mild bite in the finish.

Growler @ MPLS LOL tasting, courtesy of Bacterial. Pours a but hazy golden orange appearance with a thin off white head. Huge juicy mango, passion fruit, orange, a bit spicy hoppy aroma. Refreshing very pineapple, mango, vanilla, light cracker, lemon flavor. Yum.

Pour out of 22 oz bottle, big thanks to Kyle for this! Nice hazy orange-yellow pour with fluffy white head, laces well. Aroma made me take a step back, huge, huge juicy mango, peach, and pineapple, some slight onion and garlic but goes well into some pine, grass, dank notes, nice spice and caramel notes, biscuit mixes well. Taste is a mix of sweet mango, orange, nice pineapple mixing into bitter onion and garlic jsut for a second, bitter orange, lemon peel as well go into a nice grass, pine, notes, hints of spice, earth, nice biscuit and cracker notes slightly balance but the hops dominate, finishing fairly dry, bitter, but not overly assaulting the palate. Well, well done. Need more from these guys.

Aroma had my mouthwatering. Had it on draft in Mason city iowa and didn’t have a need to switch beers the rest of the night. Excellent balance if hop without becoming overbearing.

mcberko (4145) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 9, 2013
22 oz. bottle, sent from mista (thanks a lot, Geoff), pours a cloudy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is very hoppy, full of aromatic floral hops, prominent pine and just enough biscuity malt to back. Flavour brings out dry piney hops, floral notes, a little grass and biscuity malt. Very piney above anything and extremely flavourful for a pale ale, though not quite on an IPA level. Extremely well-balanced and highly drinkable - could drink litres of this. Excellent stuff.

Bottle. The pour is a very pale yellow. The aroma is all hops, very refreshing. The taste is hoppy, but very piney. Decent. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Toppling Goliath. Pours a nice orange with good carbonation, tons of floral hops on the nose with good citrus and pine on the tongue. Had a few pints of this, really a good beer.
