The Perturbation series starts with a complex malt bill, water treatment, and fermentation that we consider at “Equilibrium” and makes a simple change or “Perturbation” to the beer to investigate the impact to the drinking experience. For Perturbation Citra, we shifted all the hops to Citra. We taste bright tropical passion fruit, mango, pineapple, lychee, and touch of sweet that’s balanced by a smooth bitterness and round mouthfeel. The aroma mirrors the taste allowing the interplay of citra and a well-balanced beer to be enjoyed.

Crowler from Half Time, Poughkeepsie. Pours a somewhat hazy orange color with a nice, thick, frothy head. The aroma has a nice mix of citrus / orange juice, some grainy and doughy malts, and a solid bot of tropical hops as well. Drinks smooth and clean, decently sweet, with a nice, lighter, balancing bitterness. Soft mouthfeel, smooth. Easy drinking. All-around, this is some enjoyable stuff. No complaints from me.

Draught @ Milk and Hops Chelsea. Hazy orange with small foamy off-white head, fresh citrus aroma, low carbonation, lightly bitter orange-citrus taste with mango, thin body, medium bitter finish. The aroma is there but the taste is a bit low, probably needs more Citra.
