750mL growler filled 3/18/22 and shared with my roomate on 3/22/16.
Perfect pour shows a non-soupy, but strong amount of haze. Copper-gold and a huge, well-retained, white head.
Citra in the nose, believe it or not, showing no urea whatsoever, but tons of nectarine, lemon, fresh thyme and light grapefruit. Yeah, that’s about as good as it gets for citra, though there’s some malt lurking not so lightly behind it. A bit of caramel, earth and bread do indeed show through. It matches the citra pretty well, though, and does seem to balance the light juicy citrus notes. Not explosively aromatic, but then that’s not Shaun’s specialty. What it lacks in Tree House character, it makes up for in "grows-on-you" appeal. The more it warms and breathes, like almost all of his beers, the more it just screams execution.
In the mouth it’s full of lemon, white grapefruit and a softer orange juice pulpiness. Lots of herbal and nectarine dryness, with a fair amount of caramel-tinged honey. At times I think it gets too malty/sweet but my roomate points out that she likes the sweetness and that it makes it easier to drink. Coming from a wine drinker, that’s an interesting observation. In some respects, it does make the hoppiness easier to bear, and there’s no lack of bitterness here. Pretty cool beer, about as good as youre going to get for a citra DIPA.rotten eggs, rotten eggs,

Tap at Farmhouse Tap and Grill, Burlington, VT. Soupy orange. Thin, sticky, creamy white head. Nose is all things citrus. Lots of orange and grapefruit pith, zest and juice. Background sweet, creamy malts. Taste is pithy, zesty, juicy and tangy bitter. Has a light sweetness. Smooth mouthfeel with a zingy crispness. Finishes crisp, zingy, zesty bitter. Super drinkable. All you could want in a Citra DIPA.

Thanks to a semi-retired RBian. Fresh growler. Beautiful head. Thick gold color. Green citrus is really the way to describe this. Malt balances hops. Just as perfect mix of citrus hops and green hops with not too much bitterness. No off flavors or poor hopping.
