Amber,lasting tan head. Light citrus hop nose and profile. The best so far from this brewery, but that isn’t saying much

Strong and solid lemon meringue style head with a decent semi-foggy copper body and no carbonation. Apricots and pears on the nose, very fruity hops that makes it quite sweet and appealing. Flavour is an odd mix of fruit and sour hops with an odd cloying finish. Worth smelling, but just okay drinking.

Amber, has a rocky head. Aroma is citra and biscuit. Palate is similar with a fair bit of bitterness. Ok, but maybe a bit chewy

Cloudy amber colour. Light aroma, if anything, apples and mushrooms. Dry and vulgar base, nothing special about the malt, a bit grainy, and boring bitterness; it seems a bit buttery too.
Sad demise for a beer that was once good.

cloudy light Amber color. The aroma of citrusy hops is very nice. The mouthfeel is soft and round, it has some nice crackery malt flavor, and some residual sweetness; the hopping is very good; but the high yeast presence is muting the qualities of malt and hops a bit too much.
Nice dirty resiny IPA.

Clean copper color, creamy head. The aroma is mildly citrusy, light caramel, bread. It has a good caramel base; although I prefer less caramel in hoppy beers, the malt job was fairly well executed; good bitterness level, with a nice amount of hop resins, not much citrus fruit though.
Good, solid, clean, balanced, but not exactly what is expected from a modern Citra IPA though, the hops are not bright enough.

On tap at Big Rock, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some citrus and biscuity malt. Flavour is super fresh with lots of piney hops, some dank notes and juicy citrus. Surprisingly flavourful and packs a punch of hops. Very good stuff.
