This Session IPA is bursting with citrus and hop notes from the moment you take your first sniff. Brewed with mostly Citra hops and a touch of El Dorado and Amarillo, Citrafest has a great balance of hop flavor and little malt presence. This beer is deliciously drinkable so don’t be surprised at how quickly your beer disappears. 5.0%ABV, 45 IBU, 5 SRM

can - Pours light and hazy copper colored with a huge, craggy off-white head that took a long time to settle and required pouring in stages. When a beer is that foamy, it’s often not a good sign. There’s some citrus in the background of the aroma but it’s overwhelmed by off, band aid like smells. Sigh. Naturally the flavor has the off flavors too. The only thing that makes it drinkable is the heavy dose of citrusy hops and that the body hasn’t been thinned out too much yet by the infection or whatever’s going on here. Disappointing.

Can. Orange malt and peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with giant off-white head. Sweet light orange malt and mildly bitter herbal orange peel flavor. Decent body. Decent.

16oz can pours a transparent gold with some lacing, white head. Nose has straw, grass, lemon, some light resin, a little pissy. Flavor follows, some chewy grist, grass, lemon. Crisp finish if maybe a bit watery. A bit weak for my taste.

Draft: Hazy orange with a creamy, off-white head. Sweet tangerine aroma. Orange-peel, grapefruit, tangerine taste. Pretty juicy.... Very good, solid taste...big flavour in a light package.... A well done SIPA.
