Repeated heavy dosing and dry hopping brings out the smooth citrus and tropical tones of the Citra hop.

A well laced, dense off white head on a deep tan body. The nose is not overwhelming, featuring bready malt and a mixture of fruity hop notes. Not the punchiest citra IPA I have had, but a solid enjoyable drink. Hop flavours include grapefruit and tropical fruit notes. Sweet bready malt, caramel and a touch of pepper support the hops. The bitterness builds and becomes more astringent through the drink. A smooth, slightly slick mouth feel.

Dark amber pour, small off white head. Aroma is very faint. Sweet, earthy hops. Light pine resin, wet paper and musty earthy soil. This is very disappointing, but no surprising. Mouth feel, and carb are good. Finish is sweet, very bready, and malty. More earthy hops, hints of pine resins, and more wet musty ingredients. Not very good at all... How did they manage to take a super bright, citrusy, grapefruit bomb of a hop style, and make a murky, earthy, sweet, and malty amber ale?

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange-amber with lots of floaties and a medium, fluffy, long lasting, ecru head that laces. Mild aroma of caramel malt, orange, grapefruit, peach and pine. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, mandarin orange, grapefruit peel, lemon and faint pine with a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Ok, but nothing to get excited about. Lacks hop punch.

I think this is very cleanly made ipa, underrated on here. No astringency and and hops are mellow but the dominate flavour. Good body. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can from the LCBO. Murky dark amber under a tiny white head and a significant amount of particulate. Nose is bready malts with light citrus and green fruit. Flavour is a sweet sticky mess with butterscotch and pear and a messy grassy bitterness. Mouth is thick with very soft carbonation. I’m hoping this is just a bad can. Down the drain it goes..

340 ml bottle. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of candied oranges and sweet malts. Flavors follow same with a bit of toffee and grapefruit. Nothing special but not too bad and quite drinkable. Maybe different in bottle?

Poured from the tap. Orangey brown with off white head. Bready caramel malt with some piney hops and mild citrus. A bit boring and muddy.

Pours a light amber colour with minuscule flakes running through the brew, creating a little haziness. Off-white, warm cap lasting a decent time and lacing is good. Fresh citra hop nose over the caramel malts. The taste has the hoppiness with grassy notes. Some decent dryness lingers a bit. A soft balance of the hops and caramel malts felt in IPAs. Not bad overall.
