Can from Tesco in Rickmansworth, Herts. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a decent sized white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, mango, orange, tropical fruit aroma, tastes quite similar. Very drinkable indeed and an absolute bargain at £2 per can, excellent fridge filler.

Can from Tesco Danestone for 2 whole pounds sterling. It pours cloudy bright yellow - gold with a frothy white head. The aroma is fresh and bright, juicy tropical fruits, mango, peach, tangerine, orange squash, nectarine, brioche and just a touch big greenness. The taste is firmly dry, decent bitterness, green vibes, weed, grass, pine, resin, warming peppery spice, peach, nectarine, mango, pithy, zesty citrus action, tangerine and floury bread with a lingering bitter/dry finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Rather quaffable stuff. Great value.

Can, via the brewery online shop. Fully hazy, straw gold. Fine, bright white head, with a ring of loose bubbles. Lasting and semi lacing. Nose has fresh squeezed orange and sweet lemon. Pink grapefruit. Some bright, minty herb. Background milky oats. Taste has super juicy, and ripe citrus sweetness, turning bright, almost tart and sharp, zesty bitter. Clean and bright on the palate. Fine and crisp carbonation. Lingering citrus bitterness on the finish. These mega fresh Lupulus beers have been great.

Can at home. Pours slightly hazy golden with little head. Aroma is intense citrus, lots of lemon, some grapefruit, pine. Medium body. Flavour is malty and quite sweet actually, a lovely malt base. Lots of lemon and some grapefruit, pine and some earthiness. Medium bitterness, this feels a bit like a mix of West and East coast IPA. Lovely IPA, very refreshing and drinkable, citra is always a great hops.
