Deep golden in color, this hoppy lager is bursting with aromatic American Hops. We used Citra Hops throughout the entire brewing process to give this classic golden lager a tropical, fruity flavor and juicy finish.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: glossy yellow semi-cloudiness with a three finger white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to pineapple-y to mango-like hoppy tones; semi-bready malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromad to a fine sweet malty to a fine sweet hoppy vibe with a little bit lower level of bitterness riding up and meet for a nice balance; finishes mostly through the citrusy hops with some mango hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness and seems to flow exactly how it should - nothing distracting
Overall: a very nicely done IPL worthy of coming back to.

12 ounce can at home with myself. Bright yellow gold pour. Frothy white head. Spotty lacing. Fresh citrus hop aroma. Notes of lemon, tangerine and pineapple. Flavor hits notes of bready malt and bright citrus. Lime, lemon, passion fruit, orange and cut grass. Light bitter finish.

16oz can at home. Pours a deep amber gold, thick white head. Big juicy citrus notes, lovely refreshing malts. This is really one of the best post-beach day beers ever besides maybe Post Shift, so good.

16 oz. can. Pours a light, hazy, straw color, with a big, frothy, white head. The aroma is lemon zest, caramel, black pepper, and bread dough. Sweet and yeasty, with a very faint bitterness. Light body, with a dusty, crisp palate. This is a simple and quality lager.

Can shares by KL. Jack Abby’s Citra Brau 5.5% 30 IBU A dry-hopped lager with a lovely soft straw gold aroma with a bright head of foam. Great Citra aroma of peppery spice and fruits, lovely soft body and dry finish. Really tasty.

Fairly hazy golden color. Big heady nose with nice citrus, pineapple and Muscat. Medium bitterness. Big carbonation, crackery malt backbone. Very dry. Medium bitterness. Didn’t love the mouth as much as the nose. Dry, finishes very quickly.

Can - bought a six pack of this a couple of weeks ago and at first didn’t care for it too much, but now that I’ve finished the sixer I must say it really grew on me - the malt character and overall cleanliness of the fermentation are the quality you’d expect from this brewer - it’s the hops I wasn’t sure about at first - but the bright citrus and moderate spiciness I eventually found to be refreshing.

Pours a hazy pale golden with a thick white head. Aroma of resinous hops. Taste is tropical with light bitter hop notes on the back of the tongue. Palate has intense citra hops that impart a great fruity flavor.
