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.

Bottle - hazy orange - this brewery seems solid on the IPA front, and this is not really any different - soft mouthfeel, nice texture - flavorful and aromatic hop character, rich in citrus - the addition of the grapefruit, however, makes it a bit too bitter on the tail end.

Tall can pours with a clear gold body that showcases a copper colored core and supports a thin light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up grapefruit and nectarine hop fruitiness as well as some pine, grassy and spicy hoppiness. The taste delivers a pleasing and balanced bitter hop depth with pine, grapefruit and spicy lightly earthy onion like hop bitterness. Around the periphery of the bitterness is a mild sense of juicy citrus hop flavor. All in all, a pretty nice IPA.

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour, small white head, which disappears quite fast. Aroma is sweet malts, citrus, some nectar, mild grapefruity notes as well. Flavour is quite similar. Yet quite smooth as for the carbonation.Wellbalanced and refreshing. A bit heaver than the previous APA we had from the brewery.

Bottle at a tasting. The commercial description pretty much nails it. What more to say? Great beer, easy drinking, citrusy, zesty, slightly sourish. Moderate balancing caramel. High bitterness. Well attenuated. Great beer.

Bottle(shared by philduk, thanks). Pours amber. Aroma is fruits, citrus, grapefruit, some gass. Flavor is sweet and bitter, citrus, orange, malt. Finish is some grapefruit bitter. Body is bit thin. Overall: good, but would like fresher version (date on the bottle was bit scratched off and couldn’t be read).

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Lior D. Hazy golden. Aroma of stale hops, slightly citric. Sweet flavor with caramel, light honey note, and bitterish stale hops. Medium-bodied. Not fresh.
