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!

Pours yellow, slightly hazy, with a big frothy, white head. Smells fruity, citrussy, some orange, not too pulpy. Pretty soft, but a tad thin for the ABV. Flavourwise it's nicely hopped, bitter and sweet. Lovely fruity, Citra for sure.

Pint can pours with a nearly clear deep gold body that supports a full near white head of foam. The aroma offers up some pineapple, apricot and faint orange wedges. The taste delivers a blend of orange juice, pineapple and apricot. To midway it picks up a thin bitter pine hop note and some booze that cuts into the juiciness and adds more depth. This works reasonably well.
