On tap at Darby's Kits, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out classic citra notes, i.e. cat pee, along with some piney hops and a dank character. Flavour is pretty bitter and monolithic, with lots of dank, piney and pithy hops, with a dank character, and just enough biscuity malt. Finishes pithy, piney and bitter, with aggressive bitterness. Very good.

Draught at the brewery
Murky blond color. The aroma is dank and musky, manure, with some pale malt; intriguing. The mouthfeel is lean, the flavor is a bit wheaty, but too chalky; loads of citrus peel, strong bitterness, a bit buttery (may happen with Citra), and some pithy bitterness.
Enjoyable but dirty.

Cloudy and pale. Thin, bubbly head. Massive Citra nose, grapefruit, lemon, and grapey. Lots of bitterness up front, then a fair amount of malty sweetness comes in. Kinda yeasty, bit more than I’d like, as the hop fruitiness is less distinctive on the palate, the flavours blending into each other. The bitterness is back at the end, lingering a while along with a fairly stiff shot of alcohol.
