Canned 1/29/26, from Chalumeaxu, thanks, TJ! Drunk 3/1/26.
Typical Citra notes showing peach, mango, citrus juice and hints of pine/grapefruit. A balanced mix of both honey and cracker notes from the malt. Clean, crisp, aromatic, no resin or alcohol noted.
Lots of white peach; not too intensely sweet/overripe or acidic which is nice. Good bitterness from fresh citrus rind and hints of pine. Soft, supple malts but not as dense as usual; no big, fat honey-like character, so it's not overbearing with the relatively low 7.7% abv and low bitterness. But every bit as flavorful as the 9 and 10% ipas, imho. What this lacks in bold, unique, complex character, it makes up for in polished, subtle and balanced characteristics. I especially appreciate how drinkable and dry it is, with lots of that interesting donut peach/white peach character lingering.
