Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dank citrus and light rind with a bit of grain and melon underlying. Flavor has juicy citrus with light sweet grains and a bitter bite from some citrus rind backing.

750 ml growler. Thanks to Clarkvv! Grapefruit, passion fruit and citrus peel aroma. The flavor is sweet but not cloying. Mild bready malt backbone. Some citrus bitterness for balance. Really not aggressive at all The flavor is a true expression of Citra. Well done.

Growler shared by ClarkVV --thanks, Clark! Typical look for style. Aroma is strong orange, citrus. Taste is strong lemon, orange. Very smooth and soft, a little thin.

750mL growler filled 12/19/24, drunk 1/11/25.
Moderately hazy, peachy-brass-rose. Small, white head to light cover.
Lots of mineral for Citra, but obviously that's the yeast and water talking. Not just orange-mango-papaya, but with tons of lemon and mandarin, crusty biscuit and long mineral and yeast on the finish, but no bubble gum whatsoever.
Juicy, with a surprising amount of bitterness. Biscuity, a bit of pith and lots of white bread sweetness, drying out with house yeast and water character. Lingering grapefruit, lemon and pine. Lingering mineral and funk.

Can split at Craft Beer Junction, thanks to LKS 18/10/23. Hazed orange with a decent off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is juicy citric flesh, grass, melon, mandarin, papaya. Taste comprises mixed tropical fruits, ripe melon, mandarin, grapefruit, orange zest. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with juicy hop bitterness. Solid clean and easy drinking IPA if not from HF's top drawer.

Bottle share at CBJ. Can. Thanks to LKS. Mildly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Smooth but slightly thin pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Good cooling pine. Mild hop skunk. Light smooth citrus, reasonably bright. Semi dry finish. Nice.

Can at home in NH. Picked up from the brewery yesterday. Pours lightly cloudy gold with a lasting, fluffy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with supportive pale bread, some piney bitterness, semi-ripe citrus, melon, tangerine, a bit of dank. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Bittersweet finish, more tangerine and pine.
