This beer is not candy or mother’s milk. It is not brewed by gypsies or aliens, nor does it contain any zombie dirt. This is an American Style IPA brewed with Citra Hops. It is citrusy, sticky, hoppy and delicious. Simply drink it and enjoy it. Don’t hoard this beer, Citra Ass Down and drink it now.
(Online description:) This is a very hop forward American style IPA. Brewed with Pale, Vienna, Munich and wheat malt for a solid base for all American hops, focusing mainly on the variety “Citra.” Citra hops are a relatively new variety introduced in 2008. It was bred as a hybrid of a number of different hops, including Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, U.S. Tettnanger, East Kent Golding, Bavarian, Brewers Gold, and other unknown hops. The resulting hop, Citra, has a distinct citrusy and tropical fruit flavor and aroma. In Citra ass down we used American Columbus for bittering and 11# of Citra at the end of the boil for late kettle addition flavor and aroma. Then we added 6 more pounds Citra and 5# Centennial post fermention for aroma. Rebrewed for your tasting pleasure!

Pour is a bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is a definite fruitier hop variety. Flavor is surprisingly a heavy dose of caramel malt with a mild sweetness. Hops come in again as a fruit like a ripe grapefruit. Finish is heavy and sticky with the malt. Decent beer with a heavy malt bill which I’m not really fond of in IPA’s. The hops are still here but not as big as I thought they would be. Also nice that this was in a single can as this brewers bottles are expensive.

On tap at Fermentoren. Golden with a lasting white head. Fruity aroma of citrus hops, especially lime and tangerine with peach. Sweetish juicy hop flavour with lots of peach and tangerine. Perhaps a little one dimensional
