A blend of northwest hops known for their tropical fruit and citrus characteristics, complimented by the addition of grapefruit peel, give this northwest IPA a peachy apricot nose that transitions to the bitterness of grapefruit peel in the finish. Citrus Mistress sets the tone for citrus inspired beers everywhere.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is bursting of juicy tropical fruits - pineapple, melon, honeydew -- piney hops, some resin, and a caramel malt backbone. Flavour is very similar, bursting of pungent citrus fruit zest, some tropical fruits, piney and resinous hops, and dry zesty biscuity malt to back. Super flavourful, nice and dry, yet juicy, with a citrusy, hoppy finish. Amazingly well-balanced, with high drinkability and high refereshingness. A most awesome IPA.

It?s about time I update my rating on this beer. I keep going back to it over and over, so I feel like it deserves a promotion. 22 oz bottle pour, the only way I have ever been able to find this stuff. Pours a lighter clear copper color with a short lived head. This is my favorite IPA. I love everything about this beer. Fresh hops and fresh citrus aroma. Perfectly balanced IPA with an incredible grapefruit presence. Flavor includes a large variety of tropical fruit without the sweetness that would typically try to ruin it for me. Drinks super easy with a perfect amount of hop character to it. Gentle hop bitter finish with a blast of fresh fruit. For me, this IPA sets a high curve. Love this beer. Update: found it on tap, still awesome. Update, itβs been a while. Still my go to IPA even after hundreds of others. I got the bottom of the keg tonight, and itβs still awesome. More points!

Draft - Nice citrus notes with a bit of earthiness to mellow. Clearish gold with a good white head. Lots of citrus and tropical fruits. A decent IPA.

On tap. Pours a bright clear copper color with a medium white head. Big nose of oranges, big citrus, some resin. Big tropical fruit flavor, light bitter finish, oranges, some mango, very clean and very good. Certainly tastes like a IIPA! Iβm surprised a bit by the lower ABV.
