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!

On tap at Basement Beer Bar. A slightly hazy golden beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is very piny and citrus zesty, with some pale malts in the back. Floral hints. It’s full bodied and pleasantly carbonated, quite dry, with flavors of resins, pine cones and lots of citrus. Malty backdrop. Lasting bitter and citrusy finish. Not the most refreshing beer I’ve had, but it’s tasteful and moreish. 141026

22oz bottle picked up in the Franklin’s General Store pours a hazy bright orange with some lacing, white head. Right out the bottle, the nose had a conspicuous amount of thyme. Thankfully, that fades and then you’re hit with fresh honey comb, a little bit of candy, lemon, grapefruit, soap, some dried grass. Flavor is sweet and bitter, honey, lemon, orange, juicy, grassy, pine too, some mild malt. Full bodied, bitter finish.
